Sleep Disturbance in People with Anxiety or Depressive Disorders over 30 Years, and the Influence of Personality Disorder.

Objectives: Sleep disturbance is commonly reported by people with anxiety, depressive, and personality disorders, but longitudinal studies exploring the interplay of the three with disturbed sleep have not previously been described.

Methods: In this study, sleep disturbance was examined among 89 patients initially presenting with anxiety or depressive disorders who provided follow-up at 12- and 30-year time points in the Nottingham Study of Neurotic Disorder. Multilevel models were used to identify factors most predictive of changes in sleep quality over time.

Severe COVID anxiety among adults in the United Kingdom: cohort study and nested feasibility trial.

Background: People with severe COVID anxiety have poor mental health and impaired functioning, but the course of severe COVID anxiety is unknown and the quality of evidence on the acceptability and impact of psychological interventions is low.

Purpose: To examine the nature of positive and negative environmental change on clinical outcome in 210 patients presenting with anxiety and depression and followed up over 30 years.

Methods: In addition to clinical assessments, major environmental changes, particularly after 12 and 30 years, were recorded in all patients by a combination of self-report and taped interviews.

The recording of personality strengths: An analysis of the impact of positive personality features on the long-term outcome of common mental disorders.

Although personality strengths are assessed frequently in occupational and managerial settings and in children, they have been less used in studies of personality disorder. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of a measure of personality strengths derived from the comprehensive version of the Personality Assessment Schedule (CPAS) (i.e.
