Introduction: Depressed mood is a psychological state characterised by sadness or loss of interest in activities. Depressed mood is a highly prevalent symptom across major mental disorders. However, there is limited understanding of the burden and management of comorbid depressed mood across major mental disorders. Therefore, this scoping review aims to summarise knowledge on depressed mood among persons with anxiety and/or psychosis. The specific aims are to describe the epidemiology and risk factors of depressed mood as a transdiagnostic target among persons with anxiety and/or psychosis, to identify commonly used outcome measures for depressed mood and to outline initial evidence of psychometric robustness and to identify and summarise the effectiveness of commonly applied depressed mood modification interventions. Our hope is that the proposed review will provide insights into the burden of depressed mood in persons with anxiety and psychosis and help to identify evidence gaps and recommendations for future research.
Methods And Analysis: This scoping review will be conducted per Arksey and O'Malley's framework. We will first search for peer-reviewed articles and grey literature published from 2004 to 2023 in PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Africa-Wide Information, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Academic Search Premier, Humanities International Complete, Sabinet, SocINDEX, Open Grey and Google Scholar. We will include articles reporting depressed mood (subthreshold depression) among persons with anxiety and/or psychosis. Studies recruiting participants meeting depression diagnostic criteria and those published in non-English languages will be excluded. Two independent researchers will extract the data. We will analyse and chart data collaboratively with researchers with lived experiences of depressed mood.
Ethics And Dissemination: This study does not require ethical approval as it is a literature review. The results will be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Objectives: Whether intermediate-dose tertiary prophylaxis can improve quality of life and psychological health in adults with severe/moderate hemophilia A has not been determined. This research aims to explore the impact of intermediate-dose tertiary prophylaxis with recombinant human FVIII (rhFVIII) on quality of life, anxiety and depression in such individuals transitioned from on-demand treatment.
Methods: This retrospective analysis collected data from July 2019 to July 2022.

Background: A brain healthy lifestyle, consisting of good cardiometabolic health and being cognitively and socially active in midlife, is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline years later. However, it is unclear whether lifestyle changes over time also affect the risk for mild cognitive impairment (MCI)/dementia, and rate of cognitive decline.
Objectives: To investigate if lifestyle changes over time are associated with incident MCI/dementia risk and rate of cognitive decline.

Background: While sexual activity is known to benefit physical health, its connection to psychological well-being is less studied. We hypothesized that lower self-reported sexual frequency would be independently associated with higher odds of depression, as assessed by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9).
Methods: We included 15,794 U.

Background: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is associated with gastrointestinal tract (GIT) disorders, while genetic correlation, pleiotropic loci and shared risk genes remain to be explored.
Methods: Leveraging genome-wide association study statistics for MDD (n = 170,756), peptic ulcer disease (PUD; n = 16,666), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GORD; n = 54,854), PUD and/or GORD and/or medications (PGM; n = 90,175), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS; n = 28,518), and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD; n = 7045), we determined global and local genetic correlations, identified pleiotropic loci, performed gene-level evaluations, and inferred causal associations using bidirectional Mendelian randomization.
Results: We found global correlation of MDD with PUD (r = 0.
