Psychosomatics at the threshold
The comorbidity between chronic illnesses and depression is well known to all psychiatrists working in general hospitals. A large body of research indicates a bidirectional relationship: each condition can exacerbate the other, leading to worse outcomes compared to conditions without comorbidity (Katon 2011;Berg et al 2023;Herrera et al 2021;Moussavi et al. 2007;Read et al 2017;Handajani et al 2024;Kim et al 2021). At first glance, the comorbidit…

Autobiographical Memory and Episodic Specificity Across Different Affective States in Bipolar Disorder
Autobiographical memory is essential to ground a sense of self-identity, contributing to social functioning and the development of future plans, and being an essential source for the psychiatric interview. Previous studies have suggested loss of autobiographical episodic specificity in unipolar depression, but relatively fewer investigations have been conducted in bipolar disorder (BD) patients, particularly across different mood states. Similarl…
The Implications of the Diving Response in Reducing Panic Symptoms
Increased CO 2 sensitivity is common in panic disorder (PD) patients. Free divers who are known for their exceptional breathing control have lower CO 2 sensitivity due to training effects. This study aimed to investigate the immediate effects of cold facial immersion (CFI), breath holding and CO 2 challenges on panic symptoms. Healthy participants and patients with PD were subjected to four experimental conditions in a randomly assigned order. Th…

EEG 40 Hz Coherence Decreases in REM Sleep and Ketamine Model of Psychosis
Cognitive processes are carried out during wakefulness by means of extensive interactions between cortical and subcortical areas. In psychiatric conditions, such as psychosis, these processes are altered. Interestingly, REM sleep where most dreams occurs, shares electrophysiological, pharmacological, and neurochemical features with psychosis. Because of this fact, REM sleep is considered a natural model of psychosis. Ketamine is a non-competitive…

Altered Gamma-Band Activity as a Potential Biomarker for the Recurrence of Major Depressive Disorder
Background: The neurophysiological mechanisms of cognitive reactivity, the primary vulnerability factor of major depressive disorder (MDD) recurrence, remain unclear in individuals with recovered MDD (rMDD). Because gamma-band responses (GBRs) can be used to measure cognitive processing, they may also be useful for elucidating the mechanisms underlying cognitive reactivity. Identifying these mechanisms may permit the development of an index for p…
