Article Abstract
The perinatal period (pregnancy and the first-year postpartum) is a time of increased vulnerability to mental health difficulties including emotion dysregulation. Research conducted on treatments targeting emotion dysregulation during this time is limited. Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) skills groups are considered the gold standard for targeting emotion dysregulation. We developed and evaluated the effectiveness of a seven-session DBT informed skills group (perinatal emotion regulation skills [Peri-ERS]) tailored to meet the unique emotion dysregulation experienced by women within the perinatal period. = 41 perinatal women participated in the Peri-ERS group within the Women's Health Concern's Clinic, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. Participants completed a semistructured assessment to determine eligibility. They completed self-report symptom measures at baseline, Sessions 1-6, and posttreatment assessments. Paired-samples tests, Cohen's , and Friedman's rank tests were run to examine change over time. Reliable and clinical change index (RCI) analysis was conducted on emotion dysregulation. Participants demonstrated significant improvements in all symptom domain measures. Forty-eight percent of participants exhibited reliable clinical change on emotion dysregulation. These findings suggest the Peri-ERS group is effective in reducing emotion dysregulation symptoms for perinatal women. These results are promising as this novel treatment addresses a gap in the literature and may potentially be implemented in women's health clinics as a way of improving overall perinatal care.

Background: Emotion dysregulation and social functioning are important predictors of depression severity. It remains unclear whether these factors independently or interactively contribute to depression severity amongst psychiatric patients with depressive disorders.
Method: 340 psychiatric outpatients with a principal depressive disorder were interviewed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV (SCID).

Introduction: Emotion dysregulation is common in many different psychiatric disorders and it can be effectively treated with the well-established Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). Despite its clinical relevance and increasing scientific interest, emotional dysregulation (ED) is sometimes conflated with emotional lability (EL). However, these constructs differ: ED involves top-down neurobiological processes, while EL involves bottom-up processes.

Emotion dysregulation (ED), a core feature of Bipolar Disorder (BD), contributes to symptom severity, mood instability, and reduced quality of life. Emerging evidence suggests that interoception-the ability to perceive and integrate internal bodily signals-may play a pivotal role in shaping emotional experience. However, the relationship between interoceptive sensibility and ED in BD remains poorly understood.

To address this issue, we paired population-grounded discovery with out-of-sample testing. Using resting-state fMRI from > 14,000 healthy adults in the UK Biobank, we derived connectivity profiles tied to cognition (reaction time, numeric memory), and proxies of emotion dysregulation (neuroticism, anhedonia).

Age-related hearing loss (ARHL), or presbycusis, is characterized by a progressive decline in binaural auditory sensitivity, particularly affecting high-frequency hearing and sound localization. The pathogenesis of ARHL is still unclear, correspondingly reflected in a lack of clinically effective intervention strategies. Recent advancements in audiology and neurobiology have illuminated the black box of the pathogenesis of ARHL.
