TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the association between social networking site (SNS) use and depression in older adolescents using an experience sample method (ESM) approach and found no associations were seen between SNS use and either any depression ( p =.519) or moderate to severe depression (p =.470).

TL;DR: The findings indicate that insomnia is a prevalent problem for adolescents and argue for future treatment-outcome studies to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of various insomnia interventions in this age group.
Abstract: STUDY OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between adolescent insomnia and mental health during adolescence and young adulthood. DESIGN: Cross-sectional and prospective study. SETTINGS: School and in home. PARTICIPANTS: Nationally based population sample of 4494 adolescents, 12 to 18 years old at baseline (mean = 15.83 years), with 3582 young adults, 18 to 25 years old (mean = 21.25 years) at 6- to 7-year follow-up. MEASURES: Self-report measures of mental health. RESULTS: Insomnia symptoms were reported by 9.4% of the adolescents. Cross-sectionally, adolescent insomnia symptoms were associated with use of alcohol, cannabis, and drugs other than cannabis; depression; suicide ideation; and suicide attempts (all P values < 0.01) after controlling for sex. Prospectively, insomnia symptoms during adolescence were a significant risk factor for depression diagnosis (odds ratio = 2.3) in young adulthood after controlling for sex and baseline depression. CONCLUSION: This study is the first to longitudinally evaluate insomnia symptoms during adolescence as a risk factor for mental health problems in young adulthood. The findings indicate that insomnia is a prevalent problem for adolescents and argue for future treatment-outcome studies to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of various insomnia interventions in this age group.

TL;DR: Although scores reflecting depression, fatigue, emotional distress, and existential problems were interrelated, the presence of depressive symptoms was the single most important independent predictor of QOL in this cohort of brain tumor patients.
Abstract: Neuropsychiatric problems, and how they interact to impact on quality of life (QOL) in brain tumor patients, are generally poorly understood The objectives of this study were: (1) to document the prevalence of depression, fatigue, emotional distress, and existential issues in a sample of brain tumor patients (2) to examine the interconnectedness of these problems, and (3) to explore their relationship with disease-related variables and QOL This is a cross-sectional, questionnaire-based survey of 73 patients with primary brain tumors who presented to a neurological clinic at a tertiary cancer centre for ongoing care Data for 60 participants (29 women, 31 men) who completed validated questionnaires were retained for analysis Results showed that there was a high burden of depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory-II (mean score 111, SD 74), with 38% of the sample scoring in the clinically depressed range Overall QOL scores for this sample were similar to a reference sample of brain tumor patients The scores on the existential subscale of the McGill Quality of Life questionnaire were comparable to those of a reference sample of cancer patients receiving ongoing care (mean score 72; SD 17) Fifty per cent of the sample could be classified as struggling with existential issues Although scores reflecting depression, fatigue, emotional distress, and existential problems were interrelated, the presence of depressive symptoms was the single most important independent predictor of QOL in this cohort of brain tumor patients Implications for treatment are discussed

TL;DR: The authors found that patients withsuperimposed depression relapsed at a significantly higher rate immediately after recovery from the acute episode of depression than did patients without superimposed depression.
Abstract: Although ‘ ‘double depression ‘ ‘-major depressive disorder superimposed on an underlying chronic depression-is a f requent phenomenon, the concept has not been well formulated clinically and has rarely been described in the research literature. The authors found that 1) 26% of 101 patients who met the criteria for major depressive disorder had an underlying chronic depressive disorder of at least 2 years’ duration, 2) “recovery” ratesfor patients with superimposed depression differed greatly depending on whether recovery was defined as recovery from the major depressive disorder only or recovery from both disorders, and 3) patients with superimposed depression relapsed at a significantly higher rate immediately after recovery from the acute episode of depression than did patients without superimposed depression.
