A double‑blind RCT in 160 healthy adults found that intranasal oxytocin combined with structured positive interaction and daily physical intimacy (affectionate touch, sex) was associated with reduced cortisol and modestly faster dermatologi
A prospective Danish cohort found that adults reporting lifetime sexual assault had substantially higher 5‑year incidence of functional somatic disorders—especially multiorgan FSD and chronic widespread pain—after adjustment for psychosocia
Sleep disorders and depression are common in people living with HIV. Modafinil may improve daytime sleepiness, fatigue and cognition—especially for OSA-related EDS or augmentation in depression—but HIV-specific RCT data and ART interaction
Sleep disturbances and mood disorders profoundly affect people living with HIV. Modafinil emerges as a promising therapy addressing daytime sleepiness, depression, and cognitive challenges, improving quality of life.
A 151‑trial network meta‑analysis of 58,534 participants shows marked differences among 30 antidepressants in weight, blood pressure, heart rate, lipids, glucose and liver enzymes; findings support individualized choice and targeted baselin
A 2023 population survey of 4,002 adults in the UK and US found that positive screens for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) were common among people with disorders of gut–brain interaction (DGBI) and associated with greater
A prospective observational study of 37 adults with insomnia reports high adherence and no serious adverse events with 40 Hz light–sound flicker and sleep-diary improvements in sleep onset, arousals, and total sleep time; limitations includ
A meta-analysis of 36 RCTs (n=2,500) found aerobic exercise significantly reduces depressive symptoms in people with chronic illness (Hedges’ g -0.73). A weekly dose of ≈405 MET‑min (≈120–135 min of moderate aerobic activity) reaches
In an ADNI longitudinal cohort, persistently elevated depressive symptoms over 36 months after MCI diagnosis were associated with a dose‑dependent, substantially higher hazard of conversion to Alzheimer’s disease over long-term follow-up.
In two large Alzheimer cohorts, a history of depression, anxiety, or PTSD and an increased number of psychiatric comorbidities were associated with earlier age at AD symptom onset by up to ~7–8 years for multi-morbidity.
