Depression and anxiety.
TLDR
The review of literature presents the conclusions of several meta-analyses that have reviewed psychosocial interventions for late-life depression and anxiety, and intervention studies concerning the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, reminiscence therapy, and alternative therapies with depressed and/or anxious older adults are reviewed.Abstract:
Depression and anxiety are the most common psychiatric conditions in late life. Despite their prevalence, we know relatively little about their unique manifestation in older adults. And, Although the most common intervention for late-life depression and anxiety continues to be medication, research on psychosocial interventions for late-life depression and anxiety has burgeoned in the past several years. Unfortunately, this growing body of intervention research has yet to be widely translated into improved systems of care for late-life depression. This article is one step toward synthesizing the knowledge in this growing area of research. The review of literature presents the conclusions of several meta-analyses that have reviewed psychosocial interventions for late-life depression and anxiety. In addition, intervention studies concerning the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, reminiscence therapy, and alternative therapies with depressed and/or anxious older adults are reviewed. A brief description of various approaches to psychosocial intervention with anxious and/or depressed older adults is also presented.read more

TL;DR: These findings suggest that those who receive online reinforcement from their friends are more likely to discuss their depressive symptoms publicly on Facebook, and social networking sites could be an innovative avenue for combating stigma surrounding mental health conditions or for identifying students at risk for depression.

TL;DR: Examining the moderating role of attention biases at age 5 on the relations between Behavioral Inhibition during toddlerhood and anxiety symptoms at age 10 revealed that attention biases during preschool may differentiate between inhibited children who are at heightened risk for anxiety later in childhood from those who are not.

Resting‐state functional connectivity differentiates anxious apprehension and anxious arousal
Erin N. Burdwood,Zachary P. Infantolino,Laura D. Crocker,Jeffrey M. Spielberg,Marie T. Banich,Gregory A. Miller,Gregory A. Miller,Wendy Heller +7 more
TL;DR: Brain regions in the default mode network (DMN) display greater functional connectivity at rest or during self-referential processing than during goal-directed tasks, which suggests decreased adaptive, inner-focused thought processes and higher connectivity at higher levels of anxious arousal may reflect elevated monitoring of physiological responses to threat.

Application of attentional bias modification training to modulate hyperactive error-monitoring in OCD
TL;DR: Attention Bias Modification training is used with the aim to reduce the threat value of errors and thus the ERN in OCD, indicating that ABM training may be a viable intervention to reduce ERn in participants with increased error-signaling, as in OCD.
