Introduction
Many patients with eating disorders (EDs) engage in excessive and compulsive physical activity (pathological exercise, PE) to regulate negative mood or to “burn calories.” PE can lead to negative health consequences. Non-exercise activity (NEA) bears the potential to serve as intervention target to counteract PE and problematic eating behaviors since it has been associated with positive mood effects. However, to date, there is no investigation on whether the positive link between NEA and mood seen in the healthy translates to patients with ED.
Material and Methods
To study potential associations of NEA and mood in ED, we subjected 29 ED-patients and 35 healthy controls (HCs) to an ambulatory assessment study across 7 days. We measured NEA via accelerometers and repeatedly assessed mood on electronic smartphone diaries via a mixed sampling strategy based on events, activity and time. Within- and between-subject effects of NEA on mood, PE as moderator, and the temporal course of effects were analyzed via multilevel modeling.
Results
NEA increased valence (β = 2.12, p < 0.001) and energetic arousal (β = 4.02, p < 0.001) but showed no significant effect on calmness. The effects of NEA on energetic arousal where significantly stronger for HCs (βHC = 6.26, p < 0.001) than for EDs (βED = 4.02, p < 0.001; βinteraction = 2.24, p = 0.0135). Effects of NEA were robust across most timeframes of NEA and significantly moderated by PE, that is, Lower PE levels exhibited stronger NEA effects on energetic arousal.
Conclusion
Patients with ED and HC show an affective benefit from NEA, partly depending on the level of PE. If replicated in experimental daily life studies, this evidence may pave the way towards expedient NEA interventions to cope with negative mood. Interventions could be especially promising if delivered as Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) and should be tailored according to the PE level.
导言:许多饮食失调症(EDs)患者为了调节负面情绪或 "燃烧卡路里",会进行过度和强迫性的体育锻炼(病理性锻炼,PE)。病理性运动会对健康造成负面影响。由于非运动性活动(NEA)与积极情绪效应相关,因此有可能成为抵制 PE 和问题饮食行为的干预目标。然而,迄今为止,尚无研究表明,健康人的 NEA 与情绪之间的积极联系是否也适用于 ED 患者:为了研究 NEA 与 ED 患者情绪之间的潜在联系,我们对 29 名 ED 患者和 35 名健康对照者(HCs)进行了为期 7 天的流动评估研究。我们通过加速度计测量NEA,并通过基于事件、活动和时间的混合采样策略,在电子智能手机日记上反复评估情绪。通过多层次建模分析了NEA对情绪的受试者内和受试者间效应、作为调节因素的PE以及效应的时间过程:NEA 增加了情绪(β = 2.12,p HC = 6.26,p ED = 4.02,p 交互作用 = 2.24,p = 0.0135)。NEA的效应在NEA的大多数时间范围内都是稳健的,并受到PE的显著调节,即较低的PE水平表现出较强的NEA对精力唤醒的效应:结论:ED和HC患者可从NEA中获得情感益处,部分取决于PE水平。如果在日常生活实验研究中得到证实,这一证据可能会为采取便捷的 NEA 干预措施来应对负面情绪铺平道路。如果以适时适应性干预(JITAIs)的方式进行干预,并根据 PE 水平量身定制干预方案,则会特别有前景。

Background
Functional recovery remains a core clinical objective for patients with bipolar disorder (BD). Sociodemographic, clinical, and neurocognitive variables are associated with long-term functional impairment, yet the impact of sex differences is unclear. Functional remediation (FR) is a validated intervention aimed at achieving functional recovery in BD. The present study assessed the effect of sex differences of FR on psychosocial functioning at post-treatment (6-months) and 12-month follow-up (FUP). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to explore the role of sex as a factor in the efficacy of FR.
Methods
157 participants with BD were randomly assigned to either FR (N = 77) or treatment as usual group (80). Clinical, sociodemographic, neuropsychological, and functional data were obtained using a comprehensive assessment battery. Sex differences were explored via a general linear model (GLM) for repeated measures to compare the effect of sex on the intervention over time (6 months and FUP).
Results
Results demonstrated that FR benefits both sexes, males (p = 0.001; d’ = 0.88) and females (p = 0.04; d’ = 0.57), at 6 months suggesting a generalized functional improvement. Conversely, at 12-month FUP sex differences were observed only in males (p = 0.005; d’ = 0.68).
Conclusions
FR is a beneficial intervention for males and females after treatment, suggesting that there are no relevant distinct needs. Females may benefit from ongoing psychosocial functioning booster sessions after the intervention to maintain original improvements. Future research exploring sex differences could help to identify strategies to offer personalized FR intervention approaches in individuals with BD.

Objective
Childhood maltreatment is associated with less favourable treatment outcomes with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy for depression. It is unknown whether this increased risk of treatment resistance in maltreated individuals extends to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT).
Methods
This retrospective cohort study included 501 consecutive adult referrals for an acute course of twice-weekly ECT for unipolar or bipolar depression at an academic inpatient centre in Ireland between 2016 and 2024. Retrospectively reported physical and sexual childhood maltreatment were assessed on hospital admission. Response was defined as a score of 1 or 2 and remission was defined as a score of 1 on the Clinical Global Impression – Improvement scale 1–3 days after final ECT session. Logistic regression analyses were used to examine the associations between childhood maltreatment and ECT nonresponse and nonremission, adjusting for covariates. Mediation analyses were conducted to explore the role of psychiatric comorbidities, persistent depressive symptoms lasting 2 years or more in the current episode, and baseline depression severity.
Results
Compared to the group with no childhood maltreatment, the childhood maltreatment group had similar odds of ECT nonresponse (adjusted odds ratio = 1.47, 95% CI = 0.85–2.53) but significantly elevated odds of ECT nonremission (adjusted odds ratio = 3.75, 95% CI = 1.80–7.81). In a mediation analysis, presence of persistent depressive symptoms mediated 7.4% of the total effect of childhood maltreatment on ECT nonremission.
Conclusion
Individuals with exposure to childhood maltreatment may be less likely to achieve full remission following a course of ECT.

To evaluate the association between exposure to atypical antipsychotics during pregnancy and risk of miscarriage.
Material and Methods
This nested case–control study used a large Japanese administrative database. Pregnancy onset and outcomes were estimated using previously reported algorithms, classifying cases as women becoming pregnant between 2013 and 2022 and ending in a miscarriage. Controls were randomly selected from the entire pregnancy cohort by risk-set sampling with replacement and were individually matched to the cases (3:1). The association between exposure to atypical antipsychotics and risk of miscarriage was assessed using conditional logistic regression adjusted for confounders. The association between benzodiazepine exposure and the risk of miscarriage was assessed as a positive control.
Results
In the cohort, 44,118 patients were matched with 132,317 controls. The mean ages (standard deviations) of the case and control groups were 33.3 (5.7) and 33.2 (5.5) years, respectively. The prevalence of atypical antipsychotics was 0.5% in both groups. Aripiprazole is an individual antipsychotic with the highest prescription prevalence. The adjusted odds ratios (aOR) for miscarriage were 0.966 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.796–1.173) for atypical antipsychotics and 0.998 (0.784–1.269) for aripiprazole. A higher aOR (1.431, 95% CI 1.303–1.573) suggested an association with benzodiazepines. A sensitivity analysis that limited the population to women diagnosed with schizophrenia alone did not suggest an association between atypical antipsychotics and the risk of miscarriage.
Conclusions
The results of this study do not suggest an association between exposure to atypical antipsychotics during pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage.

Introduction
Peripartum depression is common and treatment with mirtazapine may be indicated. However, evidence on its safety in pregnancy and lactation is fragmented.
The objective of this systematic review was to evaluate the literature on the safety of mirtazapine in pregnancy and lactation.
Methods
PubMed, Embase, Medline, PsycInfo, and clinicaltrials.gov were searched for ‘antidepressants’ or ‘mirtazapine’ in combination with ‘pregnancy’, ‘lactation’ or ‘offspring’.
No restrictions on type of study were applied and selection was performed by two independent reviewers using Covidence. Two reviewers extracted data and performed risk of bias assessment and evidence synthesis was performed for each outcome individually.
The protocol was registered at PROSPERO (registration number CRD42021275127).
Results
The initial search yielded 15,380 articles after removal of duplicates. After screening based on title and abstract, 431 articles remained for full text review. Of these, 41 studies were included (15 cohort studies, one case–control study, 11 case series, and 14 case reports). In most studies, the outcomes in mirtazapine-exposed pregnancies were comparable to controls. However, results on congenital malformations and spontaneous abortion were conflicting. Neonatal adaptation syndrome was reported after mirtazapine exposure in late pregnancy. Data on mirtazapine exposure during lactation were scarce.
Conclusions
We identified no substantial evidence indicating that mirtazapine exposure is associated with adverse outcomes in pregnancy or in offspring, other than neonatal adaptation syndrome. However, overall quality of evidence was low, and results on congenital malformations and spontaneous abortions were conflicting. Data on mirtazapine exposure through breastfeeding were limited and did not allow for conclusions.

Introduction
Accurate detection of cardiometabolic risk in early psychosis is crucial to reducing somatic morbidity and mortality in people with psychotic disorders. We conducted an external validation of the psychosis metabolic risk calculator (PsyMetRiC), a cardiometabolic risk prediction tool developed in the UK and tailored for young people with psychosis. We compared the predictive accuracy and clinical usefulness of PsyMetRiC and a general population-based risk prediction tool for type 2 diabetes, the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC).
Methods
We included first-episode psychosis and ultra-high-risk for psychosis patients without metabolic syndrome aged 18–35 years from the Helsinki Early Psychosis and Turku Early Psychosis Study cohorts. We tested two versions of PsyMetRiC: the full model including age, sex, ethnicity, body-mass index, smoking status, prescription of metabolically-active antipsychotic medication, high-density lipoprotein, and triglyceride concentrations, and the partial-model excluding biochemical predictors, and the simplified FINDRISC including BMI, sex, systolic blood pressure, and fasting glucose. Discrimination, calibration, and decision curve analyses were used to assess the predictive performance and clinical usefulness of both PsyMetRiC and FINDRISC. We performed a site-specific re-calibration of PsyMetRiC (PsyMetRiC-Fi).
Results
The study sample consisted of 278 individuals (all White European ethnicity, 58.6% male, mean age 24.8 years, 37.8% smoking, mean BMI 23.5). Discrimination was marginally better in the PsyMetRiC full model (C = 0.72, 95% CI, 0.59–0.82) compared with partial model (C = 0.70, 95% CI 0.59–0.80) or FINDRISC (C = 0.63, 95% CI 0.54–0.71). Calibration plots displayed evidence of minor miscalibration for PsyMetRiC, which corrected following recalibration. Miscalibration was more pronounced for FINDRISC. Decision curve analysis showed that PsyMetRiC offers likely clinical usefulness in improving cardiometabolic risk management in early psychosis compared with giving everyone or no one an intervention.
Conclusion
PsyMetRiC has utility in predicting cardiometabolic risk in Finnish patients with early psychosis. It has better discriminatory accuracy and offers more accurate risk prediction compared to other available strategies.

Introduction
Suicidal ideation variability refers to within-day fluctuations in suicidal ideation, and has recently been proposed as an indicator of suicide risk. However, not much is known yet about its correlates and clinical relevance.
Methods
We examined characteristics of real-time suicidal ideation using Ecological Momentary Assessment in 82 individuals with current active suicidal ideation. Data were collected four times daily over 21 days. Latent profile analysis was used to identify subtypes of suicidal ideation. We further examined sociodemographic and clinical correlates of the profiles, and their association with the occurrence of suicide attempts during a 1-year follow-up.
Results
We identified three “digital” phenotypes of suicidal ideation that differed on the frequency, intensity and variability of ideation. The profiles were: high frequency, high intensity, moderate variability (Phenotype 1), moderate/high frequency, moderate intensity, high variability (Phenotype 2), and moderate frequency, low intensity, low variability (Phenotype 3). Phenotypes 1 and 2 were associated with a worse clinical profile at baseline (higher suicidal ideation and depressive symptom severity), and increased odds of suicide attempt during follow-up, compared to Phenotype 3. Phenotype 1 was further characterized by repeated suicidal behavior.
Conclusions
Two phenotypes of real-time suicidal ideation were identified that appear to confer a higher risk of suicidal behavior in the near future (12 months). These phenotypes were characterized by higher variability of suicidal ideation—and also higher intensity and frequency of ideation. Considering the small sample size, the clinical usefulness of the profiles remains to be demonstrated.

Objectives
Schizophrenia is associated with an increased risk of suicide. Few studies have investigated the risk of suicide across different ages, likely due to limitations around sample size.
Methods
From the National Health Insurance Research Database in Taiwan, this study identified 195,787 patients with schizophrenia from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2019. During the study period, 3848 patients died from suicide. We calculated the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) for suicide stratified by age. In this age-stratified, nested case–control study, risk set sampling was used to match each case with 4 living controls by age, sex, and the year of the first diagnosis with schizophrenia. Conditional logistic regression was used for estimating age-stratified risk profiles.
Results
The SMR was the highest in the <25 years age group (52.8) and inversely correlated with age. Unemployment was associated with an increased risk of suicide in the 25 to 34, 35 to 44, 45 to 54, and 55 to 64 years age groups. Depressive and sleep disorders before suicide were more common among suicide cases with schizophrenia than among controls across all age groups. Drug-induced and alcohol-induced mental disorders were significantly associated with suicide but were observed only in the age group younger than 54. Heart disease, pneumonia, and moderate or severe renal disease were risk factors for suicide in the age groups less than 65.
Conclusions
The risk factors for suicide differ by age. This study's findings can be used to optimize health-care interventions for preventing suicide in patients with schizophrenia.

14 这种独特的方法使婴儿的抑郁症状和焦虑症状都有了统计学意义上的显著减少,并改善了婴儿的负性情绪。Rommel 等人15 主导的研究探讨了母亲的重度抑郁症遗传责任是否可以解释孕期使用抗抑郁药与较低胎龄和出生体重之间的部分关联。他们证实,孕期服用抗抑郁药与胎龄和出生体重的小幅降低有关。然而,他们发现抑郁症的遗传责任与风险并非线性相关,因此可能仍然存在残余混杂因素,潜在的混杂因素包括怀孕期间的抑郁症状。鉴于妊娠可能是意外的,而且大多数妊娠可能在器官形成过程中才会被发现,因此处方医生应该对所有有可能怀孕的患者进行孕前咨询。在这些共同决策对话中,除了潜在的治疗益处外,还应讨论和记录未经治疗的精神疾病对母婴二人的风险,以及治疗的已知风险(和目前未知的潜在风险)。异丙孕酮在围产期抑郁症的病理生理学方面一直受到积极研究16-18 ,异丙孕酮及其类似物唑拉诺酮已在美国开发用于治疗产后抑郁症19-21。Hare 等人22 报告了围产期抑郁症严重程度与异丙孕酮浓度之间的单向时间关联,以及抑郁症严重程度和异丙孕酮浓度与与情绪调节和认知控制有关的脑区产后结构变化之间的特定关联。这项研究强调了围产期抑郁严重程度、异孕烷醇酮浓度和产后灰质体积之间错综复杂的相互作用,为了解围产期抑郁的神经机制及其对针对性干预的潜在影响提供了宝贵的见解。另一项研究探讨了围产期抑郁与脑源性神经营养因子(BDNF)之间的关系,BDNF 参与神经元生长、神经元分化和突触可塑性,可在外周血中测定,被认为可反映脑组织中的 BDNF 水平。荟萃分析表明,产前抑郁症患者和产后抑郁症患者的脑源性神经营养因子水平均显著下降。首先,了解在这一关键时期的最佳治疗策略,从而优化父母和儿童的治疗效果,对于减少悲剧的发生和将围产期精神疾病的影响降至最低至关重要。其次,确定风险因素和生物标志物,尤其是确定围产期精神疾病高危人群的风险因素和生物标志物,最终将有助于临床治疗的预防性而非被动性。最后,围产期精神疾病的发病时间是可以预测的,因此可以在发病前后对各种生物过程进行测量,从而对潜在的病理生理学进行研究。找出产后抑郁症等疾病的生物学过程,很可能会加深对重度抑郁症的理解,进而改善治疗方法和总体疗效。本特刊表明,围产期心理健康研究正在取得进展。我们期待看到这些重要发现的临床影响。KMD还担任Sage Therapeutics、Biogen、Brii Biosciences、Gerbera Therapeutics、Neuroscience Software和Reunion Neuroscience的顾问。KMD 曾担任由 Sage Therapeutics、Nesos Corporation、Gerbera Therapeutics、Woebot Health 和 Premier Healthcare 授予费恩斯坦医学研究所(Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research)的合同研究的主要研究员。JLP获得了美国国立卫生研究院、杨森制药公司(Janssen Pharmaceuticals)和Myriad Genetics公司的研究支持。佩恩博士拥有两项专利:"产后抑郁症的表观遗传生物标志物 "和 "经前多愁善感症和 SSRI 反应的表观遗传生物标志物"。佩恩博士拥有 Dionysus Health 创始人股票期权。佩恩博士
