Longer-term open-label study of adjunctive riluzole in treatment-resistant depression.
While riluzole has been investigated for the treatment of depression, little is known about its longer-term efficacy and optimal treatment duration in treatment-resistant depression (TRD). The objective of this study was to characterize the longer-term outcome of adjunctive riluzole therapy for TRD in an open-label extension of an 8-week acute treatment trial. The investigators concluded that longer-term adjunctive riluzole appeared relatively well tolerated and beneficial for maintaining previous response.

A mindfulness-based intervention for low-income African American women with depressive symptoms delivered by an experienced instructor versus a novice instructor.
The authors piloted a streamlined mindfulness teacher training protocol for Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) staff. They also examined the distribution and variability of psychologic outcomes for participants in groups led by an experienced instructor compared to a FQHC staff instructor who received the streamlined training. They concluded that preliminary data indicate that health care staff who receive streamlined training to deliver mindfulness-based interventions have comparable outcomes as experienced instructors.

Feasibility and acceptability of an online positive affect intervention for those living with comorbid HIV depression.
Positive affect has unique beneficial effects on psychological and physical health, independent of the effects of negative affect. Interventions that explicitly target positive affect show promise for improving health outcomes in a number of chronic illnesses. In this article, the investigators present pilot data on the acceptability and feasibility of an online intervention to increase positive affect in those living with comorbid human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and depression.
