Article Synopsis
- * A study tested a new web app based on metacognitive therapy (MCT), designed to help these patients manage their mental health without needing face-to-face sessions.
- * Results showed that the app was user-friendly and beneficial, with indications of improved health and reduced anxiety among participants, suggesting it could be a viable option for further research and broader mental health support.
Background: The prevalence of mental disorders, particularly adjustment disorder (AD), major depressive disorder (MDD) and panic disorder (PD) is increased in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). However, it is unclear which pathogenic mechanisms determine their development and could therefore be targeted in prevention or therapeutic interventions. Here, we assessed metacognitions in a sample of PAH patients with and without MDD and PD.

Yet, there is a lack of easily accessible evidence-based treatments. Recent research indicates elevated prevalence of dysfunctional metacognitions in patients with mental disorders following cardiovascular events.

In contrast, for emotional faces, previous studies have shown that early event-related potentials (ERPs), the P1, the N170, and, albeit to a lesser degree, the EPN, are relatively resistant to perceptual load manipulations. However, the temporal dynamics of the interaction between load and processing of emotional distractor faces have been neglected so far.
