Article Synopsis
- The study explores how childhood nurturing experiences impact adult depression through subjective social status and personality traits, specifically neuroticism.
- It involved a survey of 404 adults and used statistical analyses to show that both nurturing and subject social status influence neuroticism, which in turn affects depressive symptoms.
- Findings suggest that understanding these relationships may help clarify the origins of depression and how early life experiences shape mental health in adulthood.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare two types of major depressive disorder: anxious distress (ANXD) and melancholic features (MEL), focusing on psychomotor disturbances like agitation and retardation.
- A total of 106 patients were assessed using the CORE measure, and logistic analysis showed that lower retardation scores were linked to ANXD diagnoses, while higher agitation scores were associated with both ANXD and MEL.
- The findings suggest that while ANXD and MEL can share agitation, they differ in terms of psychomotor retardation and noninteractiveness, indicating a potential overlap in how these disorders are defined.
Aim: Various factors are thought to be involved in the development of depression, but the mechanisms are not yet clear. Although several reports have demonstrated that parental attitude experienced in childhood, depressive rumination, and sleep disturbances each influence depressive symptoms, and the association between two of these four variables, to our knowledge, no reports to date have investigated the association among the four variables.
Methods: A questionnaire survey was administered to 576 adults who agreed to participate in this study between April 2017 and April 2018.
Aim: The association of parenting experiences in childhood with anxiety symptoms in adulthood has yet to be clarified. We hypothesized that interpersonal sensitivity (IPS) mediates the impacts of parenting experiences in childhood on anxiety symptoms and negative assessment of life events in adulthood.
Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was carried out from January 2014 to August 2014 on 853 adults.
Aim: Hyperthymic temperament is a cheerful action orientation that is suggested to have a protective effect on depressive symptoms. We recently reported that hyperthymic temperament can positively predict activation of reward-related brain areas in anticipation of monetary rewards, which could serve as a biomarker of hyperthymic temperament. However, the relationship between hyperthymic temperament and neural responsiveness to nonmonetary rewards (i.

The aim of this study was to assess the associations between the occurrence of falls and the use of various individual psychotropics in hospitalized patients.
Methods: A retrospective matched case-control study was conducted on adult patients admitted to every department of Tokyo Medical University Hospital, with the outcome being in-hospital falls.
Aim: Bipolar disorder is a leading disorder contributing to global disease burden, and bipolar depression often becomes severe and refractory. Therefore, clarifying the pathophysiology of bipolar disorder is an urgent issue. Previous reports suggested that factors, such as affective temperaments and childhood maltreatment, aggravate bipolar depression severity.

Methods: This randomized controlled study evaluated 70 adult patients (age ≥20 years) admitted to the mixed medical ICU of the Tokyo Medical University Hospital (Tokyo, Japan) between May 2015 and February 2017.
