TL;DR: A meta-review of PA interventions and their impact on health outcomes for people with SMI, including schizophrenia-spectrum disorders, major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar disorder makes multiple recommendations to fill existing research gaps and increase the use of PA in routine clinical care aimed at improving psychiatric and medical outcomes.

TL;DR: Increasing age was found to be associated with an increased risk of depersonalisation but also a heightened sense of personal accomplishment, and staff working in community mental health teams may be more vulnerable to burnout.

TL;DR: The revised diagnostic criteria for apathy was developed in a two-step process and included researchers and health care professionals working on brain disorders and apathy, a representative of a regulatory body, and a representative the pharmaceutical industry.

TL;DR: The symptom dimensions in schizophrenia may respond differently to brain stimulation interventions in a way that may reflect the interaction between disease- and treatment-related mechanisms.

TL;DR: Both gut microbiome and imaging studies of UHR subjects suggest the membrane dysfunction in the brain and hence might support the membrane hypothesis of schizophrenia.

TL;DR: The profiles of the European adolescents and young adults who have embraced the cause of radical Islamism are deciphered to define the role of psychiatry in dealing with this issue and a comprehensive three-level model is developed to explain the phenomenon of radicalisation among young Europeans.

TL;DR: The performance of current tools in predicting risk of violence beyond the first few days is variable, and the selection of which tool to use in clinical practice should consider accuracy estimates.

TL;DR: PST is probably an effective treatment for depression, with effect sizes that are small, but comparable to those found for other psychological treatments of depression.

TL;DR: This is the first clinical trial of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for the treatment of symptoms of a psychiatric condition and effect size analyses show that tACS had the greatest effect based on the auditory hallucinations scale for the week of stimulation.

TL;DR: It is found that the evidence base for forensic-psychiatric practice is weak though there is some evidence to suggest that psychiatric care produces better outcomes than criminal justice detention only.

TL;DR: The UNCRPD is an international human rights treaty drafted in December 2006 and opened for signatures in March 2007, which was developed following a call from a global meeting of experts in 1987 to draft a convention on the elimination of discrimination against persons with disabilities.

TL;DR: The present review is the first to specifically explore the relationship between social cognition and social functioning in patients with bipolar disorder, and found that functioning was significantly correlated with three domains of social cognition (ToM, emotion processing, and attribution bias).

TL;DR: It is suggested that childhood social adversity may result in poor internal working models, selective attention toward emotional stimuli and greater difficulties with emotional self-regulation, in the context of an attachment model.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors integrate, harmonize and enrich major European neuroimaging studies across the life span, and merge fine-grained BCM health measures of more than 5000 individuals.

TL;DR: Differentiating between offence- and preference-related factors this study improves clinical understanding of both phenomena and may be used to develop scientifically grounded CSO prevention and treatment programmes.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that synaptic pathology in SZ arises from a disruption of the interactions between elements of the tetrapartite synapse is brought forth.

TL;DR: The goal of this research and development project, which involves academic and industry partners throughout Europe, is to deliver a multivariate algorithm based on clinical assessments as well as molecular and neuroimaging biomarkers to overcome the currently unsatisfying situation.

TL;DR: The results of this study add to the current knowledge in this area by assessing the disability associated with common mental disorders using a multi-dimensional instrument, which may contribute to mental health policy efforts in the development of interventions to reduce the burden of disability associated in Portugal.

TL;DR: Although some predictor variables related to clinical severity and social dysfunction appear of generalisable relevance, national studies on LoS are required to understand the complex influence of different patient characteristics on clinical practice in the given contexts.

TL;DR: The results suggest that OSFED patients may benefit similarly from the same CBT outpatient group approach, however, high dropout rates and low motivation seems to be an important limitation and challenge for future approaches.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined prenatal APAP exposure in relation to language development in offspring at 30 months of age and found that pregnant women should limit their use of this analgesic during pregnancy.

TL;DR: The results indicate that refining and improving the prognostic accuracy of the CAARMS should be the mainstream area of research for the next era and avenues of prediction improvement are critically discussed and presented to better benefit patients and improve outcomes of first episode psychosis.

TL;DR: The Human Brain Project (HBP) as discussed by the authors has developed a new generation of 3D reference atlases for analyzing and integrating brain data, which can be used for spatial query and analysis of brain data.

TL;DR: Findings support the association of hopelessness with suicidal ideation and point to considering in suicidal acts not only depression, but also childhood emotional abuse, hyperthymic temperament, and gender.

TL;DR: The data suggest that impulsivity is a predictor of VB when analyzed independently and as part of a multi-factorial model and that early intervention strategies in psychotic disorders should include evaluation of impulsivity considering it is linked to increased risk ofVB and may respond to treatment.

TL;DR: A one-way temporal link between daily stress and paranoia is suggested and the importance of emotion regulation as a vulnerability factor relevant to this process is highlighted.

TL;DR: Simultaneous PET/MR/EEG (Positron Emission Tomography – Magnetic Resonance – Electroencephalography), a new tool for the investigation of neuronal networks in the human brain, is presented here within the framework of the European Union Project TRIMAGE.

TL;DR: Individuals with ATPD have a very high risk of developing persistent psychotic disorders and may benefit from early detection and preventive treatments to improve their outcomes.

TL;DR: Insight is provided into the ability to be able to map neuroimaging interventions to a structured framework for reporting purposes and recommendations are made which include providing detailed rationale of intervention design in study protocols.

TL;DR: Schizophrenia represents a substantial cost for the healthcare system in Europe driven by the high cost per patient and substantial savings could potentially be achieved by increasing investment in the following areas: reducing the number of hospitalizations and working out interventions targeted at specific symptoms.
