This study aimed to investigate the prevalence/severity of anxiety and depression, and also their correlations with clinical characteristics and survival profiles in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients.In all, 208 AML patients and 200 age and sex-matched healthy controls (HCs) were recruited in this study. Anxiety and depression were assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) in AML patients before initiating therapy and in HCs after being enrolled. Treatment response was assessed, and event-free survival (EFS), and also the overall survival (OS) were calculated.The HADS-anxiety score (P < .001), anxiety prevalence (P < .001), and anxiety severity (P < .001) were increased in AML patients than those in HCs. The HADS-depression score (P < .001), depression prevalence (P < .001), and also depression severity (P < .001) were higher in AML patients compared with HCs. No correlation of anxiety or depression with clinical characteristics was found in AML patients (all P > .05). Moreover, the anxiety (P = .178) and depression (P = .512) rates were similar between complete remission (CR) patients and non-CR patients. Additionally, the EFS was worse in anxiety patients compared with nonanxiety patients (P = .013). The OS was shorter in anxiety patients compared with nonanxiety patients (P = .015) and was also worse in depression patients compared with nondepression patients (P = .007).Anxiety and depression are much more frequent and severe in AML patients compared to HCs, and both of them predict unfavorable survival profiles in AML patients.

Anxiety and depression disorders show high prevalence rates, and stress is a significant risk factor for both. However, studies investigating the interplay between anxiety, depression, and stress regulation in the brain are scarce. The present manuscript included 124 law students from the LawSTRESS project.

Objectives: There has been limited exploration into the nature and development of psychotic experiences (PEs) in Parkinson's disease (PD). We aimed to comprehensively assess the frequency, severity, and associated distress of paranoia and unusual sensory experiences (USEs) in PD, and to assess what variables are significantly associated with these experiences, focussing on psychological processes central to understanding PEs in non-PD groups.
Method: A questionnaire battery was completed by 369 individuals with PD with a mean age of 66 years and mean time since diagnosis of 5 years.

Introduction: This study provides a descriptive overview of the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Canada, across sociodemographic characteristics, mental health-related variables and negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Data were obtained from cycles 1 and 2 of the Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health (SCMH), collected in fall 2020 (N = 14 689) and spring 2021 (N = 8032). The prevalence of PTSD was measured using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5) Cross-sectional associations were quantified using logistic regression, while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics.

Aims: Few studies have explored empowerment as a predictor of mental health outcomes in geriatric healthcare professionals. This research addresses this gap by using the 'effort-reward imbalance' theory of work-related stress to develop a comprehensive model, examining the role of psychological empowerment in the psychological outcomes of nursing home professionals.
Design: This cross-sectional exploratory study used structural equation modelling (SEM) to test a model on the mediating role of psychological empowerment in the relationship between effort-reward ratio and burnout, anxiety and depression.
