Background: Residual symptoms experienced by patients with bipolar disorder (BD) is a risk factor for illness relapse/recurrence, and these symptoms are associated with a lower quality of life. Resilience allows patients to cope with stress effectively and acts as a protective factor against relapse. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between resilience and residual subjective depressive symptoms in euthymic patients with BD.
Methods: A total of 49 euthymic patients with BD completed the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (QIDS-SR) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was performed to investigate the association between QIDS-SR and CD-RISC scores.
Results: The mean Clinical Global Impression for BD (CGI-BP) and QIDS-SR scores were 1.3 ± 0.5 and 8.0 ± 5.8, respectively. Although clinically stable according to objective assessment using the CGI-BP, patients with BD experienced residual subjective depressive symptoms. After adjusting for demographic and clinical characteristics, CD-RISC scores could predict QIDS-SR scores significantly in a hierarchical multiple regression. The association between CD-RISC and QIDS-SR scores did not differ according to CGI-BP scores.
Limitations: The clinical status was objectively evaluated using the CGI-BP alone. This was a cross-sectional study with a relatively small number of patients with BD, complicating the determination of the exact causal relationship between residual depressive symptoms and resilience.
Conclusion: Higher levels of resilience appears to be associated with lower subjective residual depressive symptoms in euthymic patients with BD. Resilience could play a protective role against the residual subjective depressive symptoms experienced by clinically stable patients with BD.

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).
