TL;DR: The identification of accurate, reliable neuroimaging biomarkers of treatment response holds promise toward improving treatment outcomes and reducing burden of illness for patients with MDD.

TL;DR: It is indicated that adolescents with anxiety disorders experience a range of significant problems in both social and academic functioning, and the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders in adolescence should focus on improving functioning across domains.

TL;DR: Among LBC, low self-esteem was associated with an increased risk of depression or SPD, and school bullying was a significant predictor of depression, panic symptoms and SPD.

TL;DR: In BD, history of psychosis and full-manic episode are modestly associated with increased cognitive deficits, and most of the cognitive heterogeneity in BD cannot be explained by proposed subtypes of BD.

TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that item 9 of the PHQ-9 is an insufficient assessment tool for suicide risk and suicide ideation, with limited utility in certain demographic and clinical subgroups that requires further investigation.
