Evidence is accumulating that real-time fMRI neurofeedback is an effective treatment for various psychiatric disorders, including major depressive disorder (MDD). However, it is often dismissed as too expensive to ever be available clinically. This special communication compares the cost of real-time functional magnetic resonance imaging neurofeedback to both standard and novel interventions for MDD.
While SSRI medications remain the most inexpensive treatment option, all other available treatments for major depressive disorder cost as much or more than a course of fMRI neurofeedback. It is concluded that rtfMRI neurofeedback is not cost prohibitive and should not be dismissed for this reason.

Self-injurious thoughts and behavior, encompassing suicidal ideation, attempts and non-suicidal self-injury, represent a critical global health concern. Amidst the multifaceted nature of these behaviors and the various underlying risk factors, childhood maltreatment emerges as significant risk factor. The current umbrella review synthesizes literature across diverse geographical regions including Africa, Asia & Pacific, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America and Oceania incorporating findings from 24 meta-analyses that cumulatively analyze 81 effect sizes. The review reveals a consistent association between various forms of childhood maltreatment and an increased risk of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors across different populations. Importantly, our findings show that childhood physical (Mdn OR = 2.52), emotional (Mdn OR = 2.75), and sexual abuse (Mdn OR = 2.56) have comparable impacts on such behaviors, highlighting the severity of all childhood abuse sub-types. Similarly, we also found that emotional neglect (Mdn OR = 1.89) has a similar impact as physical neglect (Mdn OR = 1.57) in predicting self-injurious thoughts and behavior. Our findings underscore that all forms of childhood maltreatment pose comparable significant risks and highlight the necessity for comprehensive, trauma-informed interventions to mitigate the risk of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors.
自残思想和行为，包括自杀意念、企图和非自杀自残，是一个严重的全球健康问题。在这些行为的多面性和各种潜在的危险因素中，儿童虐待成为一个重要的危险因素。当前的总括性综述综合了不同地理区域的文献，包括非洲、亚洲和；太平洋、欧洲、中东、北美、拉丁美洲和大洋洲纳入了24项荟萃分析的结果，这些分析累积分析了81个效应量。该研究表明，在不同的人群中，各种形式的童年虐待与自残想法和行为风险增加之间存在一致的联系。重要的是，我们的研究结果表明，儿童时期身体虐待（Mdn OR = 2.52）、情绪虐待（Mdn OR = 2.75）和性虐待（Mdn OR = 2.56）对这些行为有相当的影响，突出了所有儿童虐待亚型的严重性。同样，我们还发现情绪忽视（Mdn OR = 1.89）与身体忽视（Mdn OR = 1.57）在预测自伤思想和行为方面具有相似的影响。我们的研究结果强调，所有形式的儿童虐待都有相当大的风险，并强调了全面的、创伤知情的干预措施的必要性，以减轻自残思想和行为的风险。

The Mini MoCA is a cognitive screening instrument designed for quick administration that can be completed via telephone. The Mini MoCA has not received the same level of research attention as the original MoCA, and no articles have explored its validity and feasibility of use with older adults using the officially published administration/scoring protocol. This study examined the convergent and predictive validity of the Mini MoCA among community-dwelling older adults (N = 68, M age=74.5 years) and identified considerations for use as a telephone cognitive screener. Correlations examined the Mini MoCA’s convergent validity with a measure of general cognitive functioning (RBANS). A significant positive correlation was found (r = .34), such that higher Mini MoCA scores were associated with higher overall scores on the RBANS. Additionally, the Mini MoCA was uncorrelated with measures of problem-solving ability and inhibition (M-WCST, D-KEFS Color-Word Interference Test) providing evidence for discriminant validity. Multiple regression analyses revealed total Mini MoCA scores predicted RBANS total scores when accounting for demographic variables. Overall, the current study provides preliminary support for the Mini MoCA as a valid screening measure of general cognitive functioning among older adults. However, several barriers to valid administration of the Mini MoCA arose that warrant attention.
Mini MoCA 是一种认知筛查工具，设计用于快速施测，可通过电话完成。Mini MoCA 并未受到与原始 MoCA 相同程度的研究关注，也没有文章探讨过其在老年人中使用官方公布的施测/评分方案的有效性和可行性。本研究考察了 Mini MoCA 在社区老年人（人数=68，平均年龄=74.5 岁）中的收敛性和预测有效性，并确定了将其用作电话认知筛选器的注意事项。相关性检验了 Mini MoCA 与一般认知功能测量（RBANS）的收敛有效性。结果发现两者之间存在明显的正相关（r = .34），即 Mini MoCA 分数越高，RBANS 的总分就越高。此外，Mini MoCA 与问题解决能力和抑制能力（M-WCST、D-KEFS 颜色词干扰测试）的测量结果无相关性，这为判别有效性提供了证据。多元回归分析表明，在考虑人口统计学变量的情况下，Mini MoCA 的总分可以预测 RBANS 的总分。总之，目前的研究初步支持 Mini MoCA 作为老年人一般认知功能的有效筛查测量方法。然而，在有效实施 Mini MoCA 的过程中也出现了一些障碍，需要引起注意。

Understanding patients’ lived experiences can identify knowledge gaps, informing better care. The objective of the study was to gain a better understanding of the lived experiences of patients from diverse backgrounds diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD). US patients aged ≥18 years who self-reported having MDD diagnosed by healthcare professionals (HCPs) completed demographic surveys and one-on-one (1:1) semi-structured interviews. Participants were recruited from a Patient Engagement Research Council and the study was classified as market research. Transcripts were evaluated with thematic analyses using the Braun and Clarke approach, quantifying theme frequencies across demographic categories. Among 14 interview respondents, key motivators for help-seeking and treatment adherence were positive patient–HCP relationships, accessible resources on MDD, and a sense of personal responsibility. Key barriers included stigma surrounding mental health issues, feelings of ethnic/cultural mismatch with their HCP, and inconsistencies/changes in HCP support. Patients suggested increasing access to credible educational resources within the community at the help-seeking phase to locate appropriate HCPs and encourage adherence to treatment. Carefully pairing HCPs and patients with MDD to build trusting and respectful relationships can improve shared decision-making and patient outcomes, facilitating high-quality continued care. Accessible, credible resources relevant to all patients and efforts to destigmatize mental health diagnoses may encourage help-seeking and treatment adherence in MDD.

Background
This study sought to examine the conceptualization of compulsive buying disorder in a sample of adults drawn from the community and its associated mental health correlates.
Methods
An online survey of “Personality, Mental Health, and Well-Being” was distributed to 300 adults aged 18–75 years. The survey measured a range of behaviors, such as buying behavior, alcohol and drug use, impulse control disorders, and dimensional constructs of impulsivity and obsessive-compulsiveness.
Results
A total of 294 participants (54.7% female) completed the survey and were included in the analysis. The overall frequency of probable compulsive buying disorder was 5.4% (n = 16). Compared to adults without compulsive buying disorder, those with probable compulsive buying disorder were significantly less likely to identify as heterosexual and were significantly more likely to endorse attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, drug use problems, symptoms of borderline personality disorder, binge eating disorder, and had higher levels of compulsivity plus impulsivity.
Conclusion
Compulsive buying disorder appears to be fairly common in adults and appears to have symptom or diagnostic overlap with obsessive-compulsive problems, addictive disorders, and impulse control disorders. Findings highlight the need for careful clinical screening to identify often overlooked comorbidities and treat them on an individual patient basis, as well as the need to conduct high-quality clinical trials for compulsive buying disorder itself and to explore its presentation longitudinally at large scale.

This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and relationships of cyber fraud on dating applications and mental health among emerging adults. An online survey was conducted in Hong Kong (n = 401). Results showed that 32% of the dating application users encountered cyber-fraud in the last 2 weeks. Users encountering cyber-fraud had significantly poorer mental health than non-victim users and non-users. Education levels, being female, financial loss, and the leakage of private information were positively related to mental health problems of cyber-fraud victims. Education programs and supporting services are warranted to enhance youth's awareness and minimize the detrimental effects caused by cyber fraud.

Building on past research that has indicated cultural variations in the factor structure of the 20-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D-20), as well as several limitations validating the CES-D-20 within a Singapore context, this study investigated the CES-D-20's factor structure and sex-based measurement invariance in Singapore. A large young adult sample in Singapore (N = 1008) was utilised, and the original CES-D-20 was administered to all participants. The findings confirmed the four-factor model's robustness over five other alternative models (RMSEA = .05, SRMR = .04), where each of the 20 items loaded significantly onto its respective factor (all loadings≥.42, all ps < .001). All four factors were also significantly inter-correlated to a medium to very large extent (all ps < .001). Configural and weak invariance were established across sexes; however, strong invariance required modification, where the release of a single intercept constraint resulted in strong partial invariance, implying sex differences in the expression of crying. Homogeneity tests suggested no significant sex differences in latent factor means, variances, and covariances. The importance of cultural- and sex-specific considerations when utilising the CES-D-20 are discussed.

Although social support is generally expected to improve parenting issues, previous findings on its efficacy among parents who have experienced childhood maltreatment are inconsistent. However, the reasons for this inconsistency have not yet been clarified. To address this, the present study examined the possibility that experiencing specific subtypes of childhood maltreatment (i.e., emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect) impairs the subsequent function of social support in parenting. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with Japanese mothers of children aged one to three years. In the survey, participants completed four scales: the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Parenting Skills Scales for Mothers of Toddlers, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Brief Inventory of the Social Support Exchange Network. A total of 360 datasets were analyzed (mean age = 33.73, SD = 4.73). The results indicated that physical abuse diminished the effect of social support on the prevention of negative parenting. However, social support alleviated parenting stress regardless of childhood maltreatment subtype. The effects of social support on increased positive parenting and decreased negative parenting were unclear compared to its effect on parenting stress. These findings have important implications for supporting parenting among parents who have experienced childhood maltreatment and preventing. intergenerational transmission.

Lisdexamfetamine (LDX) is the only medication to have gained FDA approval for the treatment of binge eating disorder (BED). LDX treatment is generally effective at reducing binge eating symptoms but is associated with several unwanted side effects. How BED patients perceive the therapeutic efficacy vs. associated side effects of LDX has not been explored. We carried out a thematic analysis of 111 online reviews posted to the website Drugs.com by persons prescribed LDX to treat BED. We also explored how qualitative themes were associated with perceptions of treatment efficacy on a quantitative (1–10 scale) scale. Themes associated with higher efficacy ratings included improved binge eating outcomes, enhanced focus/concentration, as well as weight loss (χ2 tests, p's < 0.05). Lower efficacy ratings were associated with themes that included tolerance to therapeutic effects of LDX, insomnia, return of binge eating in the evening, loss of energy in the afternoon/evening (‘crashing’), and weight gain (χ2 tests, p's < 0.05). Limitations of the study include representativeness of the data and self-reported BED diagnosis. Together, these data provide novel insights into individual experiences with LDX as a treatment for BED and their association with perceived efficacy. The causal nature of these relationships should be tested in future studies, as well as any implications for medication adherence.
Lisdexamfetamine (LDX) 是唯一一种获得 FDA 批准用于治疗暴食症 (BED) 的药物。LDX 治疗通常能有效减轻暴食症状，但会产生一些不良副作用。关于暴食症患者如何看待 LDX 的疗效与相关副作用，目前尚未有研究。我们对处方 LDX 治疗 BED 的患者在 Drugs.com 网站上发布的 111 篇在线评论进行了主题分析。我们还探讨了定性主题与定量（1-10 级）疗效认知之间的关联。与较高疗效评分相关的主题包括暴饮暴食结果的改善、专注力/集中力的提高以及体重的减轻（χ2 检验，P's < 0.05）。疗效评分较低的主题包括对 LDX 治疗效果的耐受性、失眠、晚上恢复暴饮暴食、下午/晚上精力下降（"崩溃"）以及体重增加（χ2 检验，P's < 0.05）。研究的局限性包括数据的代表性和自我报告的 BED 诊断。总之，这些数据为我们提供了新的视角，让我们了解个人使用 LDX 治疗 BED 的经历及其与感知疗效之间的关系。这些关系的因果性质以及对用药依从性的影响应在今后的研究中进行检验。

Background
People with Parkinson's disease are at an increased risk of developing depression. Nature interventions may help to reduce depression. This paper explored the feasibility, acceptability and participant attitudes towards a self-guided nature intervention for people with Parkinson's disease experiencing depressive symptoms.
Methods
The 4-week nature intervention was developed based on the CBT technique ‘behavioural activation’. The intervention aimed to increase positive activities, and in particular time in nature, into a person with Parkinson's routine. Service users were involved in intervention development. Attendance, study completion, and satisfaction were determined to determine intervention acceptability and feasibility. Participants took part in exit interviews to understand experiences and attitudes towards the intervention. Interviews were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis.
Results
Eleven people with Parkinson's disease who were experiencing depressive symptoms received the intervention. Two participants dropped out after 3 interventions sessions. The mean session satisfaction score was 8.86/10. Nine exit interviews were conducted. Three themes were discovered: 1) I was satisfied with the intervention; 2) The intervention helped my mental health; and 3) The perfect intervention would look like, which reflected suggestions for improvements to the intervention.
Conclusions
The nature intervention was feasible and acceptable and well received by people with Parkinson's disease.
