JAMA Psychiatry July 1, 2026 Sung Ryul Shim, Hye Su Jeong, Tanner J. Bommersbach et al. 1 citation

While intravenous ketamine is not approved by the US Food and Drug Administration, it is increasingly used with off-label indications as a novel treatment for suicidal and depressive symptoms. To systematically review and metasynthesize the efficacy and safety data for intravenous ketamine in treating major depressive episodes (MDEs). PubMed, PsycInfo, Cochrane Library, and Embase were...

Does baseline psychiatric symptom severity predict well-being improvement in low-intensity mindfulness interventions?

Psychiatry research communications September 1, 2024 Alexandra K Gold, Dustin J Rabideau, Daniel Nolte et al. 2 citations

Regardless of baseline psychiatric symptom severity, individuals can improve from psychotherapy, including from low-intensity psychosocial treatments. We conducted a secondary analysis of a randomized trial of low-intensity mindfulness interventions to explore if and how specific indices of baseline symptom severity were associated with well-being trajectories during treatment and follow-up. In...

Treatment‐resistant depression: definition, prevalence, detection, management, and investigational interventions

World Psychiatry September 15, 2023 Roger S McIntyre, Mohammad Alsuwaidan, Bernhard T Baune et al. 712 citations

Treatment‐resistant depression (TRD) is common and associated with multiple serious public health implications. A consensus definition of TRD with demonstrated predictive utility in terms of clinical decision‐making and health outcomes does not currently exist. Instead, a plethora of definitions have been proposed, which vary significantly in their conceptual framework. The absence of a...

Restoration of default mode network and task positive network anti-correlation associated with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for bipolar disorder

Psychiatry research. Neuroimaging November 1, 2021 Tina Chou, Darin D. Dougherty, Andrew A. Nierenberg et al.

Individuals with bipolar disorder (BP) show abnormalities in the default mode network (DMN), a brain network active at rest and during self-referential cognition. In healthy individuals, the DMN is anti-correlated (strongly negatively correlated) with the task positive network (TPN), a brain network that is active during attention demanding tasks. Mindfulness has been linked to changes in DMN...

Bipolar disorder is associated with impairments in cognition, including difficulties in executive functioning, even when patients are euthymic (neither depressed nor manic). The purpose of this study was to assess changes in self-reported cognitive functioning in patients with bipolar disorder who participated in an open pilot trial of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT). Following MBCT,...
