Cognitive reserve and cognition in mood disorders: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cognitive functioning heterogeneity is a well-recognized phenomenon in individuals diagnosed with mood disorders. Cognitive Reserve (CR) has been linked to multiple positive outcomes, including cognitive performance in these patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to provide a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between CR and cognitive functioning in individuals with mood disorders, including bipolar disorder and depressive disorders.

Mediterranean Diet and Mental Health in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review.

Context: Childhood and adolescence are periods of critical importance in the development of mental health disorders. The Mediterranean diet (MD) has been linked to multiple positive health outcomes, including reduced incidence of mental health disorders and fewer psychiatric symptoms.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to an MD and mental health outcomes in children and adolescents.

Delusional beliefs in adolescents with anorexia nervosa, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or first-episode psychosis: A comparative study.

Delusional thinking is a key symptom of first-episode psychosis (FEP), but it has also been studied in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anorexia nervosa (AN). This study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties of the Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale (BABS) in a sample of adolescents diagnosed with a FEP, AN, or OCD, and to compare delusional thinking among the three samples. The sample comprised 60 patients in three groups of 20 diagnosed with OCD, AN, or FEP.

Cognitive reserve and its correlates in child and adolescent offspring of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

Aim: To analyze cognitive reserve (CR) in child and adolescent offspring of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia (SZ-off) or bipolar disorder (BD-off) and compare them with a group of community controls (CC-off). We also aimed to investigate whether there was an association between CR and clinical and neuropsychological variables according to group.

Methods: The study included 46 SZ-off, 105 BD-off and 102 CC-off.

Effectiveness of enhancing cognitive reserve in children, adolescents and young adults at genetic risk for psychosis: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Offspring of patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia (Off-BDSZ) have a high genetic risk of developing a mental illness. The aim of this project is to develop and investigate the efficacy of an intervention aimed at this population, based on the concept of cognitive reserve.

Methods: This is a multicenter randomized trial with an experimental test-retest design study with control group.

Cognitive reserve in patients with first-episode psychosis as outcome predictor at 5-year follow-up.

Cognitive reserve (CR) is the premorbid brain capacity to cope with neural damage. People with good CR can tolerate higher levels of pathological brain injuries before displaying clinical symptoms than others. This study aimed to analyze CR in a sample of patients diagnosed with first-episode psychosis (FEP) during childhood or adolescence, comparing them to a community control group (CC) and assessing the predictive value of CR regarding psychosocial functioning, clinical symptoms and neuropsychological variables at the 5-year follow-up.

Neuropsychological development in the child and adolescent offspring of patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder: A two-year follow-up comparative study.

Unlabelled: There has been growing scientific evidence in recent years that schizophrenia and bipolar disorder share clinical, cognitive, neuroimaging and genetic characteristics. This overlap might also be present in their offspring, who have an increased risk of developing both disorders. Comparing the characteristics of these samples may have important implications for understanding etiological processes.
