Selective effects of ECT on hypothalamic—pituitary activityPsychological Medicine - Tập 17 Số 2 - Trang 319-328 - 1987
Lawrence J. Whalley, John Eagles, Geoffrey M. R. Bowler, J. Bennie, H. Dick, Ralph McGuire, George Fink
SynopsisThe hypothesis that ECT produces selective effects on
hypothalamic–pituitary activity was investigated by determining the effect of
ECT on pituitary hormone release in nine depressed patients. After ECT there
were massive and rapid increases in the plasma concentrations of nicotine-and
oestrogen-stimulated neurophysin (NSN and ESN), prolactin (PRL) and
adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), smaller i... hiện toàn bộ
Pubertal changes in hormone levels and depression in girlsPsychological Medicine - Tập 29 Số 5 - Trang 1043-1053 - 1999
Adrian Angold, E. Jane Costello, Alaattin Erkanli, Carol M. Worthman
Background. Throughout their reproductive years, women suffer from a higher
prevalence of depression than men. Before puberty, however, this is not the
case. In an earlier study, we found that reaching Tanner Stage III of puberty
was associated with increased levels of depression in girls. This paper examines
whether the morphological changes associated with puberty (as measured by Tanner
stage) o... hiện toàn bộ
The social re-orientation of adolescence: a neuroscience perspective on the process and its relation to psychopathologyPsychological Medicine - Tập 35 Số 2 - Trang 163-174 - 2005
Eric E. Nelson, Ellen Leibenluft, Erin B. McClure, Daniel S. Pine
Background. Many changes in social behavior take place during adolescence.
Sexuality and romantic interests emerge during this time, and adolescents spend
more time with peers and less time with parents and family. While such changes
in social behavior have been well documented in the literature, relatively few
neurophysiological explanations for these behavioral changes have been
presented.Method... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic risk factors for major depression in men and women: similar or different heritabilities and same or partly distinct genes?Psychological Medicine - Tập 31 Số 4 - Trang 605-616 - 2001
Kenneth S. Kendler, C Gardner, Michael C. Neale, Carol A. Prescott
Background. Although women are at consistently greater risk for major depression
(MD) than men, it is unclear whether sex modifies the aetiological impact of
genetic factors on MD. Is the heritability of MD different in men and women? Do
the same genetic risk factors predispose to MD in the two sexes?Methods. We
obtained a lifetime history of MD by personal interview on two occasions from

Oliver Chadwick, Michael Rutter, Gillian Brown, David Shaffer, Michael Traub
SYNOPSISA 2¼-year prospective study of children suffering head injury is
described. Three groups of children were studied: (a) 31 children with ‘severe’
head injuries resulting in a post-traumatic amnesia (PTA) of at least 7 days;
(b) an individually matched control group of 28 children with hospital treated
orthopaedic injuries; and (c) 29 children with ‘mild’ head injuries resulting in
a PTA exc... hiện toàn bộ

The global burden of anxiety disorders in 2010Psychological Medicine - Tập 44 Số 11 - Trang 2363-2374 - 2014

BackgroundDespite their high prevalence, the global burden of anxiety disorders
has never been calculated comprehensively. The new Global Burden of Disease
(GBD) study has estimated burden due to morbidity and mortality caused by any
anxiety disorder.MethodPrevalence was estimated using Bayesian meta-regression
informed by data identified in a systematic review. Years of life lived with

Performance of children and adolescents with PTSD on the Stroop colour-naming taskPsychological Medicine - Tập 29 Số 2 - Trang 415-419 - 1999
Alireza Moradi, Mohammad Reza Taghavi, Hamid Taher Neshat Doost, William Yule, Tim Dalgleish
Background. Investigators have used various experimental paradigms such as the
Stroop colour naming test to study how adults with different emotional disorders
process emotional information. However, to date, little research has been
carried out on younger subjects.Method. In the current experiment, children and
adolescents with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and control subjects aged
9–17 ... hiện toàn bộ
An experimental investigation of hypervigilance for threat in children and adolescents with post-traumatic stress disorderPsychological Medicine - Tập 31 Số 3 - Trang 541-547 - 2001
Tim Dalgleish, Alireza Moradi, Mohammad Reza Taghavi, Hamid Taher Neshat Doost, William Yule
Background. The present study examined biases in visual attention for emotional
material in children and adolescents with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
and healthy controls.Methods. The participants carried out an attentional
deployment task in which probe detection latency data were used to determine the
distribution of visual attention for threat-related and depression-related
material.R... hiện toàn bộ
