Article Abstract
Difficulties with emotion regulation are implicated in internalizing and externalizing disorders common in adolescence. Cognitive flexibility is foundational for emotion regulation. Prior studies examining neural patterns of adolescent emotion regulation have mainly used emotionally-valenced stimuli to induce negative emotions. However, adolescents' neural recovery after frustrative non-reward, a novel paradigm engaging both emotion regulation and reward networks, and the role of cognitive flexibility during this recovery period remain unexplored. Twenty-seven treatment-seeking adolescents with varying emotion regulation abilities (mean age = 14.53 years, SD = 1.76) completed a monetary incentive delay task modified for frustration induction, where rewards were blocked after 60% of hit trials, differentiating reward blocked v. received conditions. The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and NIH Toolbox Dimensional Change Card Sort measured emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility, respectively. Whole-brain ANCOVAs examined associations between emotion regulation and ventral striatum connectivity during the recovery period following reward feedback, with cognitive flexibility as a moderator. Among clusters across temporo- and fronto-striatal networks, adolescents exhibiting more positive relationships between emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility demonstrated less connectivity after reward received v. blocked. Opposite patterns (greater connectivity after reward received v. blocked) were observed in adolescents exhibiting more negative relationships between emotion regulation and cognitive flexibility. Our findings support a cognitive flexibility-related pathway to emotion regulation and a compensatory, noncognitive flexibility-related pathway. These mechanisms may inform novel interventions for improving adolescent emotion regulation.

Art therapy with children and adolescents experiencing acute or severe mental health conditions: A systematic review.
Aust N Z J Psychiatry
September 2025
Department of Psychological Medicine, Sydney Children's Hospitals Network, Sydney, NSW, Australia.
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*').
Intergenerational continuity of depressive symptoms: genetic and environmental pathways.

Faculty of Behavioral and Social Sciences, Department of Pedagogy and Educational Sciences, https://ror.org/012p63287University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands.
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).
The contributions of social functioning and emotion dysregulation to depression severity in patients with depressive disorders.

SCP Psychiatry, 1170 Pontiac Avenue, Cranston, RI, 02920, United States.
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).
The business of recovery: A novel pilot study psychosocial intervention to build self-efficacy and reduce relapse risk in adolescent substance use treatment.

Introduction: Relapse rates following adolescent substance use disorder (SUD) treatment remain high, highlighting a need for innovative interventions that improve engagement and target key psychosocial mechanisms of recovery. Drawing on Social Cognitive Theory, this pilot study evaluated a novel, strength-based Entrepreneurial Education Program (EEP) designed to reduce relapse risk by increasing self-efficacy, positive affect, and emotion regulation.
Methods: Twenty-seven adolescent males (M age = 15.

Background: Long-chain ceramides have been implicated in anxiety-like behavior and in priming microglial activation, suggesting a possible lipid-immune crosstalk in emotional regulation.
Methods: We systemically administered a mixture of C16:0, C18:0, C22:0, C24:0, and C24:1 ceramides to adult male and female mice. Anxiety-like behavior was assessed with behavioral tests.
