Tri-level anxiety and depression symptom trajectory in adolescents: The role of emotion regulation diversity.

Anxiety and depression are associated with impaired emotion regulation (ER). Recently, a novel construct named ER diversity has been proposed to assess the diversity in ER strategy use. Low ER diversity, particularly under stressful circumstances, may be a transdiagnostic vulnerability factor for anxiety and depression.

Study protocol: perinatal mood treatment study.

Perinatal depression (PND) affects up to 20% of women and is associated with significant impairment and disability in affected women. In addition, perinatal depression is associated with broader public health and multigenerational consequences. Innovative approaches are needed to reduce the burden of perinatal depression through identification, tracking, and treatment of depressive symptoms during the perinatal period.

Reciprocal and Indirect Effects Among Intervention, Perceived Social Support, and Anxiety Sensitivity Within a Randomized Controlled Trial for Anxiety Disorders.

Social support may facilitate adaptive reappraisal of stressors, including somatic symptoms. Anxiety sensitivity refers to negative beliefs about somatic symptoms of anxiety, which may influence one's perception of social support. Evidence-based treatment may impact these associations.

The Role of Positive and Negative Aspects of Life Events in Depressive and Anxiety Symptoms.

Negative or stressful life events are robust risk factors for depression and anxiety. Less attention has been paid to positive aspects of events and whether positivity buffers the impact of negative aspects of events. The present study examined positivity and negativity of interpersonal and non-interpersonal episodic life events in predicting anxiety and depressive symptoms in a sample of 373 young adults.

Influence of social support on cognitive reappraisal in young adults elevated on neuroticism.

Social support offers protection from depression and anxiety, possibly through its beneficial effects upon cognitive reappraisal. The present study evaluates potential mechanisms of social support, utilizing a reappraisal task in 121 undergraduates elevated on neuroticism. Participants were instructed to reinterpret stressful images with (Social Condition) and without (Solo Condition) the reminder of a social support figure.

Perceived interpersonal competence as a predictor of clinical outcomes in a randomized controlled trial for social anxiety and employment.

This study explored relationships among perceived interpersonal competence and demographic and work history variables in a randomized control trial for social anxiety disorder (SAD) that compared work-related group cognitive behavioral therapy plus vocational services (WCBT+VSAU) to vocational services only (VSAU-alone). Intervention effects of perceived interpersonal competence on treatment outcomes over 12 weeks were also examined. Data from 250 job seekers with SAD (59.

Early-life adversity and risk for depression and anxiety: The role of interpersonal support.

Early-life adversity is a major risk factor for psychopathology, but not all who experience adversity develop psychopathology. The current study evaluated whether the links between child and adolescent adversity and depression and anxiety were described by general benefits andor buffering effects of interpersonal support. Data from 456 adolescents oversampled on neuroticism over a 5-year period were examined in a series of discrete-time survival analyses to predict subsequent disorder onsets.

Neurocognitive performance predicts treatment outcome with cognitive behavioral therapy for major depressive disorder.

The current study examined the contribution of baseline neuropsychological functioning to the prediction of antidepressant outcome with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). We hypothesized that depressed participants who were more neurocognitively intact and had less rigid, negative thinking would respond better to CBT. Thirty-one MDD patients completed a comprehensive neuropsychological battery before initiation of CBT.
