TL;DR: Evidence is found indicating that negative emotion serves as a trigger for binge eating in the BED group unlike the obese group without BED, and for a (short-term) improvement of mood through food intake, irrespective of group.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used T1-weighted magnetic resonance images to determine neurobiologic correlates of group differences in cortical thickness between cases and controls in 6 disorders: attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and schizophrenia.

TL;DR: It is suggested that several different educational interventions are effective in teaching history taking skills to medical students, and small group workshops including role-play and interviews with real patients, followed by feedback and discussion, are widespread and best investigated.

TL;DR: The relationship between childhood trauma, brain structural alterations, and depression relapse in a longitudinal design is clarified to clarify the role of childhood maltreatment as causing a potential clinically and biologically distinct subtype of major depressive disorder.

TL;DR: The results suggest that hippocampal alterations in youth MDD patients may at least partly be traced back to higher occurrence of early-life adverse experiences, and provide an alternative explanation for frequently observed limbic structural abnormalities in depressed patients.
