Depressive disorders are characterized by disturbances in light signal processing. More specifically, an alteration of the melanopsin response is suggested. The post-illumination pupillary response (PIPR) to blue light (post-blue PIPR) is increasingly used as a marker of the activity of intrinsically photosensitive melanopsin ganglion cells (ipRGCs).

Aims: This study aims to compare the risk of admission to hospital for self-harm within 12 months following a COVID-19 hospitalisation during the first half of 2020, with the risk following hospitalisations for other reasons.
Method: Using the French administrative healthcare database, logistic regression models were employed to analyse data from patients admitted to hospitals in metropolitan France between January and June 2020.
Article Synopsis
- * The review included 20 studies with a total of 2,232 participants, showing common patterns of hypoperfusion in certain brain regions during rest and hyperperfusion during cognitive tasks in those with ADHD.
- * Key findings indicate that while certain areas like the prefrontal cortex often experience reduced blood flow at rest, other regions may show increased blood flow during tasks, suggesting the need for further research to understand these variations better.
Objective: Insomnia can be a contributing factor, a comorbid disorder, or a transdiagnostic element to several mental disorders, including mood disorders (MDs). A recent meta-analysis has already shown the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) for insomnia that is comorbid with MDs. This work aimed to systematically review data on pharmacological insomnia treatment in the context of MDS.
