Objective: The knowledge of the common risk factors for suicide attempts may not be simply applicable to patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We aimed to identify risk factors associated with suicide attempts in patients with ALS and to determine the annual prevalence and periods of vulnerability associated with attempts. Methods: This nationwide cohort study was performed using the Korean National Health Insurance Database. All patients with ALS concomitantly registered for the Exempted Calculation of Health Insurance for rare, incurable diseases between 2011 and 2017 were identified...

Objective: Neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) of dementia represent a large driver of health care costs, caregiver burden, and institutionalization of people with dementia. Management options are limited, and antipsychotics are often used, although they carry a significant side effect profile. One novel option is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC); however, in the US, to obtain THC for patients with dementia, caregivers have to go to a commercial dispensary. We evaluated the effectiveness of dispensary-obtained THC for patients with dementia and NPS...

Mood disorders can come and go during the reproductive stages of a woman's life and beyond and can include premenstrual-related mood disorders, depression and other psychiatric disorders during pregnancy, postpartum mood disorders, and depression during menopause, as well as comorbid psychiatric conditions. Women may have regular contact with health care providers at these various stages in their lives, providing an opportunity for treatment intervention. However, clinicians struggle to effectively identify and manage these disorders, leaving women's mental health issues unaddressed and causing unnecessary suffering, multiple comorbidities, and unwanted outcomes...

Objective: Obtaining better knowledge on the outcomes of patients who attempt suicide is crucial for suicide prevention. The aim of our study was to determine the causes of death 1 year after a suicide attempt (SA) in the VigilanS program, mortality rates, and risk factors associated with any cause of death and suicide. Methods: A prospective cohort of 7,406 people who had attempted suicide between January 1, 2017, and December 31, 2018, was included in the study. The vital status of each participant was sought, and the cause of death was established through a phone call to their general practitioner or psychiatrist...

Background: Youth with bipolar disorder (BD) are at high risk for suicide and have high rates of self-harm, which includes both suicide attempts and non-suicidal self-injury. Greater risk-taking has been associated with suicide attempts in youth with major depression, although there are no studies examining the relationship between risk-related decision-making and self-harm in youth with BD. We aimed to examine the association of suicide risk with risk-sensitive decision-making in a controlled sample of youth with BD...

Objective: Previous studies have shown conflicting results for the effectiveness of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in improving attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. This inconsistency may be due to differences in dosage, composition, and treatment duration. The current meta-analysis aims to address this inconsistency by improving subtype analyses and focusing on heterogeneity in treatment duration, omega-3 PUFA composition, and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) dose. Data Sources and Study Selection: We searched PubMed, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials of omega-3 PUFAs for ADHD, without publication year or language limitations, up to November 27, 2022...

Objective: Certain atypical antipsychotics, while efficacious as adjunctive treatments in major depressive disorder (MDD), are associated with metabolic adverse effects and weight gain. This analysis determined the effect of adjunctive brexpiprazole on metabolic parameters and body weight in adults with MDD and prediabetes (ie, at risk of developing diabetes) based on pooled data from 3 short-term studies and 1 long-term study. Methods: The short-term studies were 6-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of adjunctive oral brexpiprazole 1-3 mg/d in outpatients with MDD ( DSM-IV-TR criteria) and inadequate response to antidepressant treatment, conducted between June 2011 and May 2016...

Objective: Delirium is a common feature in COVID-19 patients. Although its association with in-hospital mortality has previously been reported, data concerning postdischarge mortality and delirium subtypes are scarce. We evaluated the association between delirium and its subtypes and both in-hospital and postdischarge mortality. Methods: This multicenter longitudinal clinical-based study was conducted in Monza and Brescia, Italy. The study population included 1,324 patients (median age: 68 years) with COVID-19 admitted to 4 acute clinical wards in northern Italy during the first pandemic waves (February 2020 to January 2021)...

Perinatal depression (PND) is one of the most common medical conditions associated with pregnancy, with 1 in 7 women impacted by PND symptoms and 1 in 13 meeting criteria for major depressive disorder. Unfortunately, half of postpartum depression (PPD) cases begin during pregnancy but are not diagnosed until postpartum. Delayed diagnosis and treatment of PND lead to poor outcomes for both mother and child. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recently updated its recommendation that screening for perinatal depression and anxiety occur at the initial prenatal visit, later in pregnancy, and at postpartum...

Among the greatest unmet needs in major depressive disorder (MDD) is a lack of effective pharmacotherapies for patients who do not respond to first- and second-line antidepressant medications. After decades of muted progress, optimism regarding the future of MDD therapy rose after scientists serendipitously uncovered the antidepressant effects of ketamine. The discovery of ketamine's antidepressant effects inspired the search for related newer medications, such as S -ketamine. Orally administered NMDA antagonists have also demonstrated considerable promise in recently concluded, late-stage clinical trials...

Despite their legality, alcohol and tobacco both have a well-documented potential for misuse and elevate users' likelihood for disease. Dependence on alcohol also contributes to opioid overdoses, which claim 130 lives every day. Although awareness of the opioid epidemic is rising broadly among health care professionals, a majority of Americans still do not receive adequate, FDA-approved medications for their addiction. Effective medications are available for alcohol use disorder and medications for opioid use disorder have validated benefits that justify their use...
