Correct classification of irritability is extremely important to assess prognosis and treatment indications of juvenile mood disorders. We assessed factors associated with low versus high parent- and self-rated irritability using the affective reactivity index (ARI) in a sample of 289 adolescents diagnosed with a bipolar or a major depressive disorder. Bivariate analyses were followed by multilinear logistic regression model.

Method: We analyzed clinical data from 495 juveniles diagnosed with DSM-5 UD ( = 359), and BD ( = 136), using bivariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression model.
Results: BD subjects exhibited earlier onset of any psychiatric feature compared to UD.
Background: Gender differences have been reported in the severity and psychopathological features of major depressive disorders among adults but are poorly reported in adolescent samples.
Objective: This study aimed to examine gender differences in the psychopathology of mixed depression among adolescents.
Methods: We analyzed 341 outpatients with the current major depressive episode (MDE) retrospectively to identify patients with DSM-5 MDE with mixed features.
Article Synopsis
- Noonan syndrome (NS) is a genetic developmental disorder linked to mutations in the Ras-MAPK signaling pathway, resulting in variable clinical symptoms.
- This study evaluates the psychopathological features, particularly depressive and hypo-manic symptoms, in 37 children and adolescents with NS, finding significant signs of attention deficit, irritability, emotional dysregulation, and anxiety.
- The average cognitive levels of the subjects were found to be normal, emphasizing the importance for clinicians to monitor mood disorders in individuals with Noonan syndrome.
