Objective: Existing research has yet to adequately examine the correlation between sleep time, body pain, and depressive symptoms. This study seeks to elucidate the interconnections between these three elements.
Methods: The study used 2020 CHARLS data for analysis. To assess the intricate association among sleep time, body pain, and depressive symptoms, the study employed Spearman correlation analysis, multiple logistic regression, restricted cubic splines, and mediation effect analysis based on bootstrap testing.
Results: Risk factors for depressive symptoms in middle-aged and elderly Chinese include physical pain and reduced sleep duration. Results from the RCS suggest that the lowest risk of depressive symptoms occurs when the sleep time for the middle-aged and elderly population is approximately 7.5 hours. Body pain accounts for a 19.05% mediating effect between sleep time and depressive symptoms, and even after controlling confounding factors, there remains a 7.5% mediating effect.
Conclusion: The research findings indicate that there is a significant correlation among sleep time, body pain, and depressive symptoms. Insufficient sleep time and body pain can lead to depressive symptoms. Body pain plays a partial mediating role between sleep time and depressive symptoms.

Living under the threat of natural disasters affects mental health. Natural disasters that are more likely to occur in a specific season represent a special case that is becoming more frequent with the consequences of climate change. Therefore, they deserve special attention regarding their potentially seasonal mental health implications.

Objective: Art therapy offers a predominantly non-verbal form of creative self-expression for people experiencing mental health issues. This systematic review aims to investigate the effectiveness and acceptability of art therapy for children and adolescents experiencing acute or severe mental health conditions.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, five electronic databases were searched (Embase, MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, PsychINFO, CINAHL) using the search terms ('art therap*' OR 'art psychotherap*') AND ('child*' OR 'adolescen*' OR 'youth' OR 'young' OR 'teen*').

Disordered eating behaviors and depressive symptoms can be problematic during pregnancy for both the individual and their offspring. Our study aimed to determine the extent to which body image dissatisfaction early in pregnancy predicts eating disorder behaviors and/or depressive symptoms across pregnancy. Participants ( = 253) completed self-report assessments of depressive and eating disorder symptoms alongside the modified Body Image in Pregnancy Scale in their first, second, and third trimesters.

Background: Depression runs in families, with both genetic and environmental mechanisms contributing to intergenerational continuity, though these mechanisms have often been studied separately. This study examined the interplay between genetic and environmental influences in the intergenerational continuity of depressive symptoms from parents to offspring.
Methods: Using data from the Dutch TRAILS cohort ( = 2201), a prospective, genetically informed, multiple-generation study, we examined the association between parents' self-reported depressive symptoms (reported at mean age of 41 years) and offspring depressive symptoms, self-reported nearly two decades later, in adulthood (mean age: 29 years).
