  • From cigarettes to symptoms

    Open AccessMaja P Völker, Chiara Callies et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    Our findings support an association between smoking and depression. Robust dose-response relationships were found, with higher cigarette consumption associated with more severe depressive symptoms, and longer time since cessation linked to lower depression levels. These results highlight smoking as a meaningful and modifiable contributor to current and lifetime depression, suggesting that quitting smoking or reducing cigarette consumption may ben…

  • A survey of mental health literacy in parents and guardians of teenagers

    Open AccessSakurako Kusaka, Jerome Clifford Foo et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    Many teenagers' caregivers appeared to be willing to help the teens in their care if they were suffering from mental health problems. However, there was much room for improvement in knowledge on mental health/illnesses and intention to seek help from medical professionals. Efforts toward better education should be made

  • DNA methylation in cocaine use disorder–An epigenome-wide approach in the human prefrontal cortex

    Open AccessEric Poisel, Lea Zillich et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Results from our study highlight that CUD is associated with epigenome-wide differences in DNAm levels in BA9 particularly related to synaptic signaling and neuroplasticity. This supports findings from previous studies that report on the strong impact of cocaine on neurocircuits in the human prefrontal cortex (PFC). Further studies are needed to follow up on the role of epigenetic alterations in CUD focusing on the integration of epigenetic signa…

  • A quasi‐cluster randomized controlled trial of a classroom‐based mental health literacy educational intervention to promote knowledge and help‐seeking/helping behavior in adolescents

    Open AccessSatoshi Yamaguchi, Yasutaka Ojio et al.ARTICLEJournal of Adolescence2020

    INTRODUCTION: School-based education is a potentially effective approach for improving mental health literacy (MHL) in adolescents. This study evaluated the effects of the "Short MHL Program (SMHLP)", a brief (50 min), school teacher-led program, on MHL in adolescents in a quasi-cluster randomized controlled trial. METHODS: A total of 975 high school first graders (age 15-16) in Japan were allocated to classes such that gender and academic achiev…

  • Association of Locomotor Activity During Sleep Deprivation Treatment With Response

    Open AccessJerome Clifford Foo, Lea Sirignano et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    Disrupted circadian rhythms and sleep patterns are frequently observed features of psychiatric disorders, and especially mood disorders. Sleep deprivation treatment (SD) exerts rapid but transient antidepressant effects in depressed patients and has gained recognition as a model to study quick-acting antidepressant effects. It is of interest how locomotor activity patterns during SD might be associated with and potentially predict treatment respo…
