Patients with personality disorders suffer from impairment in self-reflective capacities. This is not a matter of making incorrect judgments about self-experience but reflects problems with (a) labeling internal experience consistent with the type and level of bodily arousal, (b) seeing how thoughts and feelings are connected to one another within the flow of daily life, and (c) realizing that one's own ideas about interpersonal relationships are subjective and fallible and not direct perceptions of external reality. The authors offer a discussion and definition of each of these three impairments and then offer suggestions for how to address these impairments in psychotherapy.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a significant health concern affecting at least 10% of individuals aged 65 and older, with heightened risk in Black and Hispanic/Latino populations. Despite this prevalence, our analysis of University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) electronic health records (EHR) indicates that only 4% of patients aged 65 or older receive an AD diagnosis, with underdiagnosis more prevalent among Black and Hispanic/Latino patients compared to their white counterparts. To address this issue, we propose implementing a concise dementia screening tool (DST) in real-world clinical settings.

Insomnia disorder (ID) is a highly heterogeneous psychiatric disease, and the use of neuroanatomical data to objectively define biological subtypes is essential. We aimed to examine the neuroanatomical subtypes of ID by morphometric similarity network (MSN) and the association between MSN changes and specific transcriptional expression patterns. We recruited 144 IDs and 124 healthy controls (HC).
