Article Abstract
Objective: It takes significant time and energy to collect data on explicit networks. This study used graph machine learning to identify hidden networks and predict mental health conditions in the middle-aged and old.
Methods: Data came from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing (2016-2018), with 2,000 participants aged 56 or more. The dependent variable was mental disease (no vs. yes) in 2018. Twenty-eight predictors in 2016 were included. Graph machine learning with systematic hyper-parameter selection was conducted.
Results: The area under the curve was similar across different models in different scenarios. However, sensitivity (93%) was highest for the graph random forest in the scenario of 2,000 participants and the centrality requirement of life satisfaction 90. Based on the graph random forest, top-10 determinants of mental disease were mental disease in previous period (2016), age, income, life satisfaction-health, life satisfaction-overall, subjective health, body mass index, life satisfaction-economic, children alive and health insurance. Especially, life satisfaction-overall was a top-5 determinant in the graph random forest, which considers life satisfaction as an emotional connection and a group interaction.
Conclusion: Improving an individual's life satisfaction as a personal condition is expected to strengthen the individual's emotional connection as a group interaction, which would reduce the risk of the individual's mental disease in the end. This would bring an important clinical implication for highlighting the importance of a patient's life satisfaction and emotional connection regarding the diagnosis and management of the patient's mental disease.

Loneliness is associated with different structural brain changes in schizophrenia spectrum disorders and major depression.

Background: Loneliness, distress from having fewer social contacts than desired, has been recognized as a significant public health crisis. Although a substantial body of research has established connections between loneliness and various forms of psychopathology, our understanding of the neural underpinnings of loneliness in schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) remains limited.
Methods: In this study, structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) data were collected from 57 SSD and 45 MDD patients as well as 41 healthy controls (HC).

Background: Obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) frequently co-occur in patients with Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders (SSD). Patients with SSD and OCS experience increased clinical and social challenges, including diminished quality of life and subjective well-being. However, it is unknown whether co-morbid OCS are associated with personal recovery.

JMIR Ment Health
January 2025
School of Applied Psychology & Centre for Mental Health, Griffith University, Mt Gravatt, Australia.
Background: Self-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) achieves greater reach than ICBT delivered with therapist guidance, but demonstrates poorer engagement and fewer clinical benefits. Alternative models of care are required that promote engagement and are effective, accessible, and scalable.
Objective: This randomized trial evaluated whether a stepped care approach to ICBT using therapist guidance via videoconferencing for the step-up component (ICBT-SC[VC]) is noninferior to ICBT with full therapist delivery by videoconferencing (ICBT-TG[VC]) for child and adolescent anxiety.
Attitudes of German General Practitioners Toward eHealth Apps for Dementia Risk Reduction: Qualitative Interview Study.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
Institute of Social Medicine, Occupational Health and Public Health, Leipzig University, Leipzig, Germany.
Background: eHealth interventions constitute a promising approach to disease prevention, particularly because of their ability to facilitate lifestyle changes. Although a rather recent development, eHealth interventions might be able to promote brain health and reduce dementia risk in older adults.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the perspective of general practitioners (GPs) on the potentials and barriers of eHealth interventions for brain health.

Objective: This study investigates the association between parental precarious employment (PE) and the mental health of their adolescent children, with a particular focus on how the association differs based on whether the mother or father is in PE.
Methods: This register-based study used the Swedish Work, Illness, and Labor-market Participation (SWIP) cohort. A sample of 117 437 children aged 16 years at baseline (2005) were followed up until 2009 (the year they turned 20).
