Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP) for treating persistent depressive disorder (PDD), focusing on treatment outcomes over 24 weeks.
- It found that depression severity significantly decreased after 6 months, with income source and absence of certain comorbidities (axis I) being key predictors of a positive treatment response.
- Despite some individuals not having favorable outcome predictors, a notable percentage still experienced partial improvements, indicating that group-CBASP may benefit those who don't respond well to conventional therapies.

The study objective was to investigate the effect of stopping OCS on the timing and uptake of risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) and on the percentage of occult cancers in the specimens.
Methods: 419 BRCA1/2 mutation carriers were recruited between January 1999 and June 2013.
