Maternal mental health during pregnancy and the postpartum period is critical for offspring’s well-being. Mindfulness-based programs (MBPs) are evidence-based approaches that reduce psychological distress such as depression, anxiety, and stress while promoting well-being. MBPs may be particularly suited to the perinatal period, given concerns about psychotropic medication use during pregnancy...

Esketamine nasal spray (NS) is an established treatment for patients with treatment resistant depression (TRD). To further optimise real-world outcomes, consensus is needed regarding strategies to enhance patient outcomes and decision-making factors for pivotal timepoints in esketamine NS treatment. This modified Delphi panel (3 rounds) established expert consensus (≥80% agreement) from 30...

This chapter returns to depression to examine rumination in light of the capacity to be inwardly silent. Rumination is typically defined as repetitive and persistent negative thinking, yet its experiential structure has received limited phenomenological attention. Building on the framework developed earlier in the book, the chapter argues that many cases of rumination involve a disruption in...
