Article Synopsis
- * Using functional imaging, the research found that AnxMDD participants showed significantly greater brain activation in key areas related to fear processing when exposed to threatening stimuli compared to those with MDD alone.
- * The findings imply that comorbid anxiety may influence fear-related brain responses, pinpointing areas for potential treatment strategies in individuals who suffer from both depression and anxiety, which are often more challenging to treat.
Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) contribute significantly to global health burdens. Identifying disease markers for these comorbid disorders can increase understanding of pathogenesis and improve screening and intervention strategies. This study examined the association of physical health factors with MDD and MDD + GAD, across sexes.

- The study explores how people with both anxiety and depression (AD+MDD) have stronger responses to fear than those with just depression (MDD).
- Researchers looked at brain activity in 195 people while they did a fear learning task.
- The results showed that people with AD+MDD had more brain activation in areas related to fear, suggesting that their condition is connected to heightened fear responses.
Unlabelled: The central nervous system (CNS) exerts a strong regulatory influence over the cardiovascular system in response to environmental demands. Floatation-REST (Reduced Environmental Stimulation Therapy) is an intervention that minimizes stimulation from the environment, yet little is known about the autonomic consequences of reducing external sensory input to the CNS. We recently found that Floatation-REST induces a strong anxiolytic effect in anxious patients while paradoxically enhancing their interoceptive awareness for cardiorespiratory sensations.
