Objective: Epidemiological studies suggest that patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) treated with amphetamines have an increased risk of newly diagnosed psychosis. This risk in youth is poorly understood. This investigation studied the potential risk of newly diagnosed psychotic symptoms associated with exposure to 4 classes of ADHD medications.

Prior reviews of studies published through 2016 suggest an association of antidepressant use during late pregnancy and increased risk of PPH. However, a causal link between prenatal antidepressants and PPH remains controversial.

Currently, however, drug alerts in the EHR are largely generic (not patient-specific) and contribute to increased clinician stress and burnout. Improving the usability of PGx alerts is an urgent need.

This nonrandomized, multicenter, open-label clinical trial explored the impact of intravenous (IV) ketamine on cognitive function in adults (n = 74) with treatment-resistant depression (TRD). Patients received three IV ketamine infusions during the acute phase and, if remitted, four additional infusions in the continuation phase (Mayo site). Cognitive assessments using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) were conducted at baseline, end of the acute phase, and end of the continuation phase (Mayo site).

Burnout in healthcare workers extends beyond negatively affecting their functioning and physical and mental health; it also has been associated with poor medical outcomes for patients. Data-driven technology holds promise for the prediction of occupational burnout before it occurs.

Methods: Across 4 US sites, 75 patients ages 18-65 with treatment-refractory unipolar or bipolar depression received 3 IV ketamine infusions over an 11-day period.
This systematic review evaluated the animal and human evidence for pharmacomicrobiomics (PMx) interactions of antidepressant medications. Studies of gut microbiota effects on functional and behavioral effects of antidepressants in human and animal models were identified from PubMed up to December 2022. Risk of bias was assessed, and results are presented as a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines.

Patients And Methods: The Rochester Epidemiology Project medical records-linkage system was used to study infants exposed to selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs; n=1014), bupropion, (n=118), serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (n=80), antidepressant combinations (n=20), or other antidepressants (n=22) during the third trimester (April 11, 2000-December 31, 2013). Poor neonatal adaptation was defined based on a review of medical records.
Objectives: To compare the agreement between percentile ranks from 4 multi-morbidity scores.
Design: Population-based descriptive study.
Setting: Olmsted County, Minnesota (USA).
This article provides an updated review of the pharmacological profile and available efficacy and tolerability/safety data for vilazodone, one of the most recent antidepressant drugs to be approved in the USA for the treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD) in adults. The efficacy of vilazodone for MDD in adults is supported by four positive short-term (8-10 weeks), randomized, placebo-controlled trials. Beyond these pivotal trials, we review updated research findings pertaining to the clinical effects of vilazodone for MDD including the results of switch studies, small comparative efficacy trials, key pooled and secondary data analyses focused on important depressive subtypes (anxious depression) and predictors of treatment outcome, and safety studies including direct studies of sexual side-effects.

The correlates of the CGI-I with efficacy scales for adolescent major depressive disorder are poorly understood. This study focused on benchmarking CGI-I scores with changes in the Children's Depression Rating Scale-Revised (CDRS-R) and the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Adolescent (17-item) Self-Report (QIDS-A17-SR).

Objective: To compare the risk and rate of accumulating chronic conditions in people with depression, anxiety, and comorbid depression and anxiety vs individuals with neither depression nor anxiety.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cohort study used the Rochester Epidemiology Project medical records-linkage system to identify residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, from January 1, 2005, to December 31, 2014, with follow-up ending December 31, 2017.
Age at depressive onset (AAO) corresponds to unique symptomatology and clinical outcomes. Integration of genome-wide association study (GWAS) results with additional “omic” measures to evaluate AAO has not been reported and may reveal novel markers of susceptibility and/or resistance to major depressive disorder (MDD). To address this gap, we integrated genomics with metabolomics using data-driven network analysis to characterize and differentiate MDD based on AAO.
