TLDR
This work shows that otherwise healthy, unmedicated patients with these disorders display reduced resting-state HRV, and that pharmacological treatments do not ameliorate these reductions, and proposes a working model for the effects of mood disorders, comorbid conditions, and their treatments to help guide future research activities.About:

Age-related losses in cardiac autonomic activity during a daytime nap
TL;DR: Comparing the autonomic activity profile between young and older healthy adults during a daytime nap and a similar period of wakefulness suggests a sleep-specific reduction in parasympathetic modulation that is unique to NREM sleep in older adults.

Relaxation Effects of Musically Guided Resonance Breathing: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the psychophysiological effects of a combined intervention of music therapy and resonance breathing in healthy adults and found significant time × group interaction effects for general well-being and heart rate variability as measured by RMSSD.

Heart rate variability in patients with agoraphobia with or without panic disorder remains stable during CBT but increases following in-vivo exposure.

TL;DR: Despite clinical improvement of anxiety symptoms, ANS activity at rest did not seem to be influenced by CBT, however, during in-vivo exposure, HRV changed significantly, indicating a higher parasympathetic activity at the end of exposure.

Distinguishing bipolar from unipolar disorders on the basis of heart rate variability
TL;DR: This letter provides an important opportunity to flag the problems associated with null hypothesis significance testing and the need for ‘‘the new statistics’’ to be integrated into HRV studies when examining the extent and clinical relevance of observed differences across psychiatric disorders.

Predicting Personality with Smartphone Cameras: A Pilot Study
TL;DR: The results of this study provide the first empirical evidence that supports the usability of smartphone PPG as a predictor of personality and the results from correlation coefficients and the Bland–Altman analysis verified the accuracy of smartphones PPG in HRV assessment.

Prevalence, Severity, and Comorbidity of 12-Month DSM-IV Disorders in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication
TL;DR: Although mental disorders are widespread, serious cases are concentrated among a relatively small proportion of cases with high comorbidity, as shown in the recently completed US National Comorbidities Survey Replication.

Projections of Global Mortality and Burden of Disease from 2002 to 2030
Colin Mathers,Dejan Loncar +1 more
TL;DR: These projections represent a set of three visions of the future for population health, based on certain explicit assumptions, which enable us to appreciate better the implications for health and health policy of currently observed trends, and the likely impact of fairly certain future trends.

From inflammation to sickness and depression: when the immune system subjugates the brain
TL;DR: In response to a peripheral infection, innate immune cells produce pro-inflammatory cytokines that act on the brain to cause sickness behaviour, which can lead to an exacerbation of sickness and the development of symptoms of depression in vulnerable individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI
The inflammatory reflex
TL;DR: The discovery that cholinergic neurons inhibit acute inflammation has qualitatively expanded understanding of how the nervous system modulates immune responses, and the opportunity now exists to apply this insight to the treatment of inflammation through selective and reversible 'hard-wired' neural systems.

Global burden of disease and injury and economic cost attributable to alcohol use and alcohol-use disorders.

TL;DR: The burden of mortality and disease attributable to alcohol, both globally and for ten large countries, is quantified and concludes that alcohol consumption is one of the major avoidable risk factors, and actions to reduce burden and costs associated with alcohol should be urgently increased.
