The COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to profoundly affect youths' mental health. Understanding predictors of affective responding to the pandemic is critical for prevention and intervention efforts. This study examines emotion regulation as an important predictor of youth's changes in positive and negative affect. The present study of 115 participants (62 girls, M = 11.77) explores the relation between pre-existing emotion regulation strategies, as measured by multi-week daily diaries pre-COVID, and youths' mean positive and negative affect levels and variability during a 28-day period amidst the pandemic, while including COVID-related worries and isolation as important moderators. The findings provide important insight into interactions between pre-existing vulnerabilities and COVID-related stressors in predicting affective adjustment in youth.

Background: Emotion dysregulation is a central feature in trauma-associated disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, it remains unclear whether emotion dysregulation is a transdiagnostic phenomenon closely linked to childhood trauma, or if disorder-specific alterations in emotion processing exist. Following a multimethodological approach, we aimed to assess and compare the reactivity to and regulation of emotions between patients with BPD and PTSD, as well as healthy controls, and identify associations with childhood trauma.

Introduction: Despite decades of research and intervention, aggressive driving behavior (ADB) remains a prevalent risk on our roads. This study aimed to systematically review how drivers' personality traits, perceptual tendencies, self-regulatory capacity, and psychological functioning, have been linked to the engagement of ADBs.
Method: Under guidance of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses, a literature search was performed in four databases, followed by a manual search in Google Scholar.

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TC) is a transient cardiomyopathy secondary to emotional and/or physical stress. While its precise aetiology remains unclear, some evidence suggests a possible role for the insular cortex (IC), which modulates cardiovascular responses to stress. The IC is a key viscerosensory and visceromotor hub with widespread connections, and is implicated in interoceptive processing, emotional regulation, and autonomic control.

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) has a role in immune regulation and neuroplasticity within the brain, influencing various neurological and psychiatric disorders, including bipolar disorder. mTOR signaling, via two complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, modulates immune responses by regulating microglial activation, cytokine production, and T-cell function. Dysregulation of these pathways leads to neuroinflammation, a hallmark of several neurological conditions.

Transdiagnostic group interventions address the limitations of youth mental health care services, including the disorder-specific nature of existing treatments and the limited capacity of individual psychotherapies. This review synthesizes the 1) characteristics, applications, parental involvement, patient and public involvement (PPI), and 2) data on efficacy, adherence, safety and treatment satisfaction evidence of transdiagnostic group interventions for children and adolescents. Following PRISMA guidelines, a preregistered systematic literature search identified 6845 publications on transdiagnostic in-person group-based interventions for children and adolescents (mean age ≤ 18 years).
