Abstract This multi-wave longitudinal study investigated the role of ruminative response style in predicting dimensions of anxiety among individuals with negative inferential styles. Baseline and 6-month follow-up data were obtained from 446 adolescents with negative inferential styles. In the initial assessment, they completed measures evaluating ruminative response style, anxious symptoms, and negative events. Subsequently, over a 6-month period, they continued to report anxious symptoms and negative events. The results showed that the ruminative response style moderated the relationship between negative events and overall anxious symptoms. Notably, higher scores in ruminative response style were correlated with significant increases in all four [...]
Abstract Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is one of the most common psychiatric diagnoses in the world. Common evidence-based treatments for OCD are pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy. The participants were 40 adults between 18 and 70 years old, recruited through self-referrals, professional and clinic referrals, and hospital advertisements. Participants diagnosed with OCD after telephone screening were referred to Sina Hospital in Hamadan City, Iran, for further assessment. Of the 40 participants (most of the patients were women, 80%; university education, 57.5%; mean age, 36.1 and SD of 11.74), 20 participants received CBT, and 20 underwent CBT plus sertraline after completing the intervention in both [...]
Abstract The current study was designed to assess for associations between self-report mental health disorder symptom change scores and the frequency of monthly mental health self-monitoring surveys, amongst Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) cadets during training (i.e., starting the Cadet Training Program [CTP] to pre-deployment). Participants were RCMP cadets (n = 355). Multiple linear regression models were conducted to assess relationships between mental health disorder symptom change scores and the frequency of monthly self-monitoring during the CTP, adjusting for sociodemographic variables and pre-training mental health disorder symptom scores. The frequency of monthly self-monitoring was statistically significantly inversely associated with changes in mental [...]
Abstract The intergenerational transmission of anxiety and depression is well-documented, but the specific pathways remain less understood. This study examined the role of intolerance of uncertainty (IU) as a transdiagnostic mechanism in this transmission. We recruited 966 children aged 9–13 and their mothers from two primary schools in China using convenience sampling. Maternal and child IU, anxiety, and depression were assessed, and structural equation modeling was employed to analyze the data. Results indicated that the direct path linking maternal and child IU, rather than maternal or child IU alone, mediated the relationship between maternal and child anxiety and depression. These [...]
Abstract Anxiety disorders are common psychiatric conditions, and the lack of timely interventions in married adults can adversely affect marital satisfaction. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of emotional schema therapy on anxiety symptoms, emotion regulation strategies, and marital satisfaction in women with anxiety disorders. A single-case experimental A-B-A design was used, with a sample of ten women diagnosed with at least one anxiety disorder who also reported marital dissatisfaction. Emotional schema therapy was administered in 12 weekly 90-min individual sessions, with evaluations conducted in three phases: a multiple baseline, during therapy (sessions 1, 4, 8, and 12), and [...]
When we did our first few Media Forums, we introduced you to the editors of JAACAP and JAACAP Open. What we didn’t do was introduce you to the most important part of JAACAP, the editorial staff that makes sure that it runs every day. In this issue of the Media Forum, the amazing editorial staff of JAACAP, JAACAP Open, and JAACAP Connect will share with you their favorite children’s books and shows, introducing you to stories that you can recommend to families or read to your own children. Hopefully, this will also give you a chance to get to know [...]
Emotional dysregulation (ED) presents a persistent and multifaceted challenge for autistic children, their families, clinicians, and educators, affecting emotional, social, and academic aspects of daily life. 1 Characterized by intense emotional responses, frequent irritability, and reactive aggression, ED can disrupt social, academic, and daily functioning, impacting the child's life and placing immense strain on families. Autistic children have a nine-fold increased risk for emergency room visits for psychiatric symptoms compared with neurotypical children, 2 which is at least partly attributable to substantially high prevalence of clinically significant emotional regulation difficulties in this population. [...]
Antipsychotics and α-2 agonists are evidence-based medications for Tourette syndrome. Tic severity, functional impairment, and risk-benefit trade-offs guide treatment planning.1 However, much like other clinical disorders in child and adolescent psychiatry, treatment that definitively improves symptoms and without also causing untoward side effects remains an unmet clinical need. This editorial reviews a metanalytic synthesis of the Tourette literature that focused on the magnitude of the placebo response in pharmacological trials of Tourette syndrome to understand how clinically meaningful efficacy results in the extent literature are, particularly in the context of some recent trial failures. [...]
Farid and Dunham ‘s 1939 classic psychiatric epidemiologic study of schizophrenia and psychosis in Chicago found that overall White individuals generally had lower psychiatric admission rates for psychosis than Black individuals, however that was not the case for primarily Black areas in the city. 1 In these areas White individuals had remarkably high admission rates and Black individuals had unusually low rates. A review of twentieth century studies also found an association between ethnic density and rates of schizophrenia and proposed reduced exposure to prejudice and increased social support as underlying mechanisms.

In this issue of the Journal, Reed and colleagues1 explore the intersection of two important public-health problems: overweight/obesity and attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), both having a high population prevalence and tending to start in childhood. They analyzed data cross-sectionally and longitudinally from a UK birth cohort of 7,908 youth, 442 with ADHD by either actual diagnosis or parent-rated threshold score. This epidemiologic ADHD prevalence was comparable to other countries though actual diagnosis rate was lower. [...]
