The relationship between social networks and subjective cognitive decline in Chinese younger older adults
Younger older adults exhibited a high risk of social isolation, with friend isolation being particularly severe. The significant prevalence of SCD among younger older adults has emerged as a pressing health concern.

Moving forward, comprehensive interventions aimed at addressing SCD in older adults should consider strategies to en…
Interconnected mental health symptoms
Burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress are relatively common among psychiatric nurses in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gender differences in the associations between body mass index, depression, anxiety, and stress among endocrinologists in China
One-fourth of endocrinologists in China are overweight, with a rate in males nearly triple the one in females. Depression and anxiety are significantly associated with overweight in males but not females. This suggests possible differences in the mechanism. Our findings also highlight the need to screen depression and overweight in male physicians and the importance of developing gender-specific interventions
Executive function deficits and medial temporal lobe atrophy in late-life depression and Alzheimer’s disease
AD patients experience more severe EFD and MTA than LLD patients. The differential diagnosis of AD and LLD can be aided by the useful tool known as TMT. It is important to acknowledge that TMT is capable of capturing only a fraction of the executive function, thus necessitating a cautious interpretation of research findings
Non-suicidal self-injury in adolescents with mood disorders and the roles of self-compassion and emotional regulation
NSSI is prevalent among adolescent patients with mood disorders in clinical settings, especially among girls and those with lower levels of education and less cognitive reappraisal strategies. More clinical attention is needed. Self-compassion and its factors may mediate the association between emotional regulation and NSSI. Clinical implications and future research directions were discussed

Anxiety, central symptoms of depression (i.e., "Sad mood", "Poor Energy", and "Guilt") and depressive symptoms linked to QOL (i.e., "Sad mood", "Appetite", and "Fatigue") identified in this study are promising targets for interventions and preventive measures for depression in patients who have undergone pacemaker implants
Reduced suicidality after electroconvulsive therapy is linked to increased frontal brain activity in depressed patients
Our findings suggest that the left SFG and OFC may play a key role in the mechanism of ECT for suicidality. The decrease of fALFF in the left SFG and OFC may represent a potential mechanism through which ECT effectively treats suicidality in depressed patients
The association between workload, alcohol use, and alcohol misuse among psychiatrists in China
Nearly half of the psychiatrists in China reported alcohol use and 8.1% had probable AUD. Alcohol consumption is significantly associated with several workload-related factors, such as long working hours, heavy caseload, and administrative duties. Alcohol misuse was inversely associated with the number of night shifts per month. While the direction of causality is unclear, our findings may help identify vulnerable professional groups and develop …
The cognitive effects of adjunctive repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation for late-onset depression
Treatment with 120% MT rTMS was associated with improvement in cognitive defects related to the active phase of LOD. These findings suggest that rTMS could provide early improvements in cognitive function in clinical settings for elderly patients with LOD.
