Mental health concerns have become increasingly prevalent among young adults. A growing body of literature indicates that increasing plant intake shows benefits for mental health. An existential-phenomenological study was conducted with 11 emerging adults with symptoms of anxiety and/or depression who had adopted a whole-food, plant-based diet (WFPB) diet to understand their lived experiences. Adoption of a WFPB diet was about Experiencing Transformation: An “Internal Calling.” The context of transformation was the experience of Going Against the Grain of Society. Six figural themes were identified: (a) Embracing Food as Medicine: “Healthy from the inside out,” (b) Benefiting from a Holistic Approach: “Feeding your body is feeding your soul and is feeding your mind,” (c) Adopting a Lifestyle Change and Its Evolution Over Time: “Getting older and realizing what you need,” (d) Finding Time for “The Joy of Cooking,” versus Time Constraints, (e) Fostering Community: The “Community-Building Power of Food,” and (f) Following the Call: “I'm motivated by my moral compass.” For nurses, primary care nurse practitioners, and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, a holistic approach, including an anti-inflammatory diet, could be key for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression among emerging adults.

Mental health problems are common among higher education students, yet formal help-seeking rates remain low. Mental health literacy (MHL) is crucial in facilitating help-seeking, but its relationship with formal help-seeking behaviors among ethnic minority students is poorly understood. This study explored MHL among Palestinian minority students in Israel using Jorm's framework, examining the association between each MHL dimension and formal help-seeking. It also investigated information-seeking methods and their relations to actual help-seeking.
129 Palestinian students completed measures of MHL, formal help-seeking, information-seeking methods, sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Participants reported average or above-average levels on all MHL dimensions. Compared to those who did not report actual formal help-seeking, those who did have significantly higher levels of MHL on all dimensions, except for the ability to recognize disorders. The three dimensions - knowledge of risk factors and causes; knowledge of where to seek information; and attitudes that promote recognition or appropriate help-seeking behavior – were found to be significant determinants of formal help-seeking behaviors. Online information-seeking was an important determinant of formal help-seeking. This study supports the association between MHL and formal help-seeking behaviors, even among students from ethnic minorities. Interventions targeting MHL could enhance help-seeking behaviors in this population. This study underlines the crucial role of the Internet in minority students' lives in the context of mental health, similar to its importance in other areas of their lives. They also identify key areas for psychiatric mental health nursing to focus on for more effective education and interventions tailored to minority student populations.

Family resilience refers to a family's ability to successfully cope with adversity from a system dynamics perspective, and is considered an effective resource for promoting individual mental health. However, there is a lack of meta-analyses examining the relationship between family resilience and mental health outcomes, nor the impact of different cultural context factors. The current study conducted a three-level meta-analysis of 48 studies published before January 25, 2022, from 5 scientific databases. The main effect test revealed a significant medium positive correlation between family resilience and positive mental health (r = 0.446, p < 0.001) and a significant medium negative correlation between family resilience and negative mental health (r = −0.543, p < 0.001). In addition, the moderator analyses for positive outcomes revealed significant effects for the average age (p = 0.048) and the type of adversity affected (p = 0.007). Meanwhile, the moderator analyses for negative outcomes found significant effects for individualism scores (p = 0.020). The findings suggest that family can be a valuable resource for individual psychological adaptation and growth. It is important to pay attention to the role of family members and cultural context factors in addressing the effect of family resilience on mental health.

Non-pharmacological interventions are available to improve sleep quality including mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and physical activity (PA). The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the combination of MBSR and PA interventions as an augmentation to treatment as usual with sertraline to improve sleep and psychological factors among patients with MDD. Sixty-seven patients in outpatient care diagnosed with MDD for a minimum of 2 months (mean age: 35.32 ± 7.8; 65 % female) and currently on sertraline treatments were randomized into four groups including: 1) Physical activity, 2) MBSR, 3) Combination MBSR and physical activity (MBSRPA), and 4) Control. All participants completed self-reported questionnaires on sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and perceived stress from baseline to 8 weeks later at post-test and four weeks later at follow-up. Over time, sleep disturbance and psychological problems were reduced in all conditions when compared to the control. Moreover, MBSRPA had a more positive impacts on perceived stress, anxiety, depressive symptoms and sleep quality. The results of the present study confirmed the effectiveness of MBSRPA as an augmentation to standard therapy to help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, perceived stress, and sleep problems in patients with MDD.

Objective
While some studies have explored the influencing factors of adolescent internet addiction, the risk factors and protective factors still require further discussion. This study aims to examine the mediating role of inhibitory control between anxiety and internet addiction among Chinese adolescents, as well as the moderating role of family support in the relationship between anxiety and inhibitory control.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted through convenience sampling from February to March 2024 in seven schools across five provinces in China. A total of 1677 participants (697 males and 980 females) with an average age of 15.86 ± 0.74 years were included in the study. Self-reported data on internet addiction, anxiety, inhibitory control, and family support were collected, followed by correlation analysis and moderated mediation model testing.
Results
After controlling for participants' gender and age, the study found that anxiety could significantly predict adolescent internet addiction directly (β = 0.429, p < 0.001). When inhibitory control was introduced as a mediating variable, the predictive effect of anxiety on adolescent internet addiction remained significant (β = 0.317, p < 0.001). Additionally, family support alleviated the relationship between anxiety and adolescents' inhibitory control (β = −0.057, p < 0.01).
Conclusion
Anxiety can predict adolescent internet addiction through inhibitory control, while family support can moderate the predictive relationship between anxiety and adolescents' inhibitory control. It is recommended that guardians pay attention to adolescents' negative emotions, provide adequate support, guide emotional regulation, and prevent the occurrence of internet addiction.
