- Shared polygenic susceptibility to treatment response in severe affective and psychotic disorders: Evidence from GWAS data setsby Fernando Facal on November 4, 2024
While schizophrenia (SCZ), bipolar disorder (BD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) genetically correlate, the pleiotropy underlying response/resistance to drugs used in these disorders has not been investigated. The aim of this study is to analyze the genetic relationship between treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS), response to lithium in BD (respLi) and response to antidepressants in MDD (respAD) using the conditional/conjunctional false discovery rate (cond/conjFDR) methodology, based on...
- Identifying factors strongest associated with clinical, societal and personal recovery in people with psychosis with a long duration of illnessby Stynke Castelein on November 3, 2024

- Gratitude despite unease among Swedish male forensic psychiatric patients with substance use disorders: an interview studyby Charlotta Svensson on November 2, 2024
CONCLUSIONS: Participants' subjective perspectives underscored the importance of factors such as forensic nurses/healthcare providers in forensic psychiatry considering the patients' life narratives, their aspirations for the future, their need for a secure environment and patient-staff relationships. These findings highlight the need for structural interventions that emphasize the importance of tailored and comprehensive health plans within rehabilitation.

CONCLUSIONS: The current findings suggest that distinct regions and layers of the retina may be differentially impacted during the emergence and early phase of psychosis. Consequently, oculomics could play significant roles, not only as a diagnostic tool but also as a mirror reflecting neurobiological changes at axonal and cellular levels.
