New review and #metaanalysis on #predictors of #response to Deep Brain Stimulation #DBS in #depression found no quantitative support for current expert opinions about who benefit most from DBS. This may help identifying patients eligible for DBS. ➡️ buff.ly/0gCWOys

📱 Can smartphone-based cognitive assessments be used to monitor #depression?
📈Self-reported cognitive functioning correlates more strongly to depression severity than performance-based tasks

We expected that lower scores on self-reported cognitive functioning would correlate more strongly to depression severity than performance-based tasks.
Still, this reflects the importance of self-reports in patient monitoring, especially in a dimension like cognition.

Capturing #cognition using a #smartphone is no simple task, and the field is finding creative ways to do so. Typing errors and speed can be used, innovative performance tasks too.
Feel free to share what you think about remotely assessing cognition!

A new study involving the #NESDA cohort shows that cellular #metabolic dysfunctions may represent a key pathway in depression pathophysiology, potentially accessible through #acylcarnitines metabolism
25 Feb 2025
Our new study in @Transl_Psych showed that acylcarnitines (involved in mitochondrial #energy production) were linked to the presence severity of #depression. Bioenergetic pathways may open new avenues in psychiatry #MetabolicPsychiatry check the paper ➡️: rdcu.be/eaWoN

As researchers, it's crucial to share our research findings through more than just scientific journals. A fantastic initiative is the @StressInAction #podcast on #Stress, with experts in stress research as guests. Find out more details here: stress-in-action.nl/podcast-…
