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.

The usability of daytime and night-time heart rate dynamics as digital biomarkers of depression severity

TL;DR: In this article , a 2-year study in individuals with a history of recurrent major depressive disorder (MDD) explored the intra-individual variations in heart rate (HR) parameters and their relationship with depression severity.

Can heart rate variability be a bio-index of hope? A pilot study

TL;DR: In this paper , a pilot cross-sectional observational study aimed to examine the relationship between heart rate variability (HRV) and the level of hope among adult Chinese people in Hong Kong.

The effects of everyday-life social interactions on anxiety-related autonomic responses differ between men and women

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used smartphone-based EMA combined with wearable electrocardiogram sensors to investigate how everyday-life social interactions affect state anxiety and related cardiac changes in women and men.

Heart Rate Variability Differences between Depression Patients with Different Severity and Healthy People

TL;DR: The results showed that all the characteristics of depression patients significantly decreased compared with the healthy people, but the characteristic values did not decrease with the deepening of depression, and the new feature R-std performed well.

A recent suicide attempt and the heartbeat: Electrophysiological findings from a trans-diagnostic cohort of patients and healthy controls.

TL;DR: In this article , a 15-min resting state electrocardiography was recorded with two bipolar electrodes attached to the right and left insides of the wrists, and multiple regression analyses showed lower parasympathetic, and higher sympathetic activity in patients compared to controls.

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

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.

The inflammatory reflex

Kevin J. Tracey
- 19 Dec 2002 - 
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.
