Pre-existing anxiety and depression in injured older adults: an under-recognized comorbidity with major health implications.
The purpose of this retrospective post-hoc analysis study was to evaluate variations in baseline depression and anxiety screenings between older injured patients with pre-existing diagnoses and those without. Data from the Trauma Medical Home, a multicenter randomized controlled trial was used for analysis. The study found that almost 50% of the patients screened positive for at least mild depressive symptoms as measured by the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and 41% of the patients screened positive for at least mild anxiety symptoms as measured by the Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale. Female patients with a history of concurrent anxiety and depression, greater injury severity scores, and higher Charlson scores were more likely to have mild anxiety at the baseline assessment. Patients with a history of depression only, a prior history of depression and concurrent anxiety, and higher Charlson scores (greater medical comorbidity) were more likely to have experienced at least mild depression at the time of hospital discharge after traumatic injury.

A meta-analysis to guide the enhancement of CBT for childhood anxiety: exposure over anxiety management.
Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is the most empirically supported therapy for childhood anxiety disorders (CADs) but has not reliably outperformed other credible interventions. The current study used meta-analysis to examine the frequency with which the most common treatment components are included in outcome studies and the relation of these components to symptom improvement.

Comorbid anxiety in bipolar CHOICE: insights from the bipolar inventory of symptoms scale.
This study’s purpose was to investigate the utility of the Bipolar Inventory of Symptoms Scale (BISS) to determine levels of comorbid anxiety disorder in patients with bipolar disorder (BD). It is estimated that approximately 86-89% of patients with BD also have anxiety disorder. Participants in the Bipolar Clinical Health Outcomes Initiative in Comparative Effectiveness (CHOICE) study were assessed for anxiety disorder using the MINI scale. The scale cutoff of 10 (for maximum anxiety) was identified as a possible limitation of BISS, but it was determined as useful as a screening measure.

Psychosocial co-morbidities in Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS): a systematic review.
Psychosocial factors amplify symptoms of Interstitial Cystitis (IC/BPS). While psychosocial self-management is efficacious in other pain conditions, its impact on an IC/BPS population has rarely been studied. The objective of this review was to learn the prevalence and impact of psychosocial factors on IC/BPS, assess baseline psychosocial characteristics, and offer recommendations for assessment and treatment.

Psychotherapy credibility ratings: patient predictors of credibility and the relation of credibility to therapy outcome.
The researchers examined the relation between credibility ratings for adult psychotherapies and various patient factors as well as the relation between credibility ratings and subsequent symptom change. Their findings indicate that patient beliefs after a brief exposure to treatment may influence symptom improvement. Age and education may influence the patient’s beliefs about the credibility of a treatment.
