Article Abstract

Brief group-based psychological treatments are a common tool for increasing service access. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills groups have been used with several clinical populations to improve emotional regulation. This research aimed to examine the effectiveness of DBT-informed classes across four treatment settings in reducing symptoms of depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation, as well as examining participant factors associated with treatment responsiveness and class dropout. A total of 315 participants completed pre-post measures as a part of standard clinical care. Linear mixed model analyses showed that participants who completed DBT-informed classes experienced significant reductions in symptoms of depression, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. Only an individual's baseline DSM-5 score significantly predicted responsiveness to treatment in terms of decreasing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation.

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.

The contribution of mTOR to the immunopathology of bipolar disorder.

J Neuroimmunol

September 2025

Laboratory of Physiology Pharmacology and Psychopathology, Graduate Program in Biomedical Sciences, Federal University of Fronteira Sul, Chapecó, SC, Brazil. Electronic address:

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.

This study examined the sequence and timing of sexual identity development (SID) milestones among Generation Z LGBTQ+ Australians, focusing on variations across subgroups and their relationship with minority stressors. The study included 490 Australian LGBTQ+ individuals aged 16 to 26, predominantly White ( = 389) and assigned female at birth ( = 402), with a balanced distribution between cisgender and gender-diverse participants. Demographic differences in the timing and achievement of SID milestones were found for sexual and gender identity.

Background: Previous studies indicate that hippocampal (subfield) and amygdala volumes may correlate with specific cognitive functions, coping strategies and emotion regulation. Here, we investigated associations between emotional processing and volumes of hippocampal subfields and amygdala. We focused on depressed patients since emotional dysregulation and hippocampal volume shrinkage are characteristic of them.
