The relationship between changes in mood state and the report of personality disorder symptoms was examined in a sample of 44 outpatients. Subjects completed a battery of self-report inventories and a semistructured interview on two occasions separated by 6 months. Although significant changes in depression and anxiety were observed over time, personality disorder scores from self-report inventories and the interview were relatively stable over time. Further, changes in depression and anxiety scores were not significantly related to changes in personality disorder scores. Results suggest that self-report personality disorder scores may be as reliable as those derived from semistructured interviews.

Background: Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Fatigue Short-Form (PROMIS-F-SF) is a self-administered, patient reported outcome (PRO) designed to assess fatigue in healthy and clinical populations and for tracking progress during treatment for disorders complicated with fatigue.
Methods: Patients in the Mental Health Service Outpatient Clinics and healthy volunteers were invited to complete a survey, which included the Danish translation of the PROMIS-F-SF, the Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS-11), and measures of depression and anxiety. We conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of the previously suggested single-factor structure of the instrument.

In recent years, the increasing life expectancy has underscored the importance of cognitive health alongside physical well-being, particularly because healthy adults may report subjective cognitive complaints (SCC), often related to memory. These complaints may or may not align with objective cognitive impairments, fueling ongoing debates about whether SCC could serve as an early indicator of dementia. While some studies suggest SCC as a potential precursor to dementia, others propose that these complaints may merely co-occur with cognitive decline.

The Five-Factor Model of personality traits has consistently demonstrated expected associations with features of psychiatric disorders, both within the general population and clinical settings. In pursuit of a more nuanced understanding, facet-level assessments like the Zuckerman-Kuhlman-Aluja Personality Questionnaire (ZKA-PQ) offer more profound insights into their facets. However, notably, the applicability of the ZKA-PQ to the Thai population remains untested.

To provide proof-of-concept (PoC), dose-range finding, and safety data for BI 1358894, a TRPC4/5 ion channel inhibitor, in patients with borderline personality disorder (BPD). This was a phase 2, multinational, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. Patients were randomized to oral placebo or BI 1358894 (5 mg, 25 mg, 75 mg, or 125 mg) once daily in a 2.
