TL;DR: It is concluded that this form of meditation can be used as the basis for an effective behavioral program in self-regulation for chronic pain patients and key features of the program structure, and the limitations of the present uncontrolled study are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the psychometric and pragmatic characteristics of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-9 depression, generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)-7 anxiety and PHQ-15 somatic symptom scales are synthesized from two sources: (1) four multisite cross-sectional studies (three conducted in primary care and one in obstetric-gynecology practices) comprising 9740 patients, and (2) key studies from the literature that have studied these scales.

TL;DR: Critical appraisal of the literature revealed a number of methodological and knowledge gaps that need to be addressed in future research, including examining specific risk factors in women of lower socioeconomic status, risk factors pertaining to teenage mothers, and the use of appropriate instruments assessing postpartum depression for use within different cultural groups.

TL;DR: The results support the construct validity of the PHQ depression scale, which seems to be a useful tool to recognize not only major depression but also subthreshold depressive disorder in the general population.

TL;DR: This article showed clinically and statistically significant improvements in subjective and objective symptoms of anxiety and panic following an 8-week outpatient physician-referred group stress reduction intervention based on mindfulness meditation for 22 patients with DSM-III-R-defined anxiety disorders.
