Depression as a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke among HIV-positive veterans in the veterans aging cohort study.
Background HIV infection and depression are each associated with increased ischemic stroke risk. Whether depression is a risk factor for stroke within the HIV population is unknown. In this study the investigators examined depression as a risk factor for incident ischemic stroke among HIV-positive veterans in the veterans aging cohort study. The investigators concluded that depression is associated with an increased risk of stroke among HIV-positive people after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics, traditional cerebrovascular risk factors, and HIV-specific factors.

Psychotic symptoms during bipolar depressive episodes and suicidal ideation.
Researchers examined the relationship between psychotic symptoms during a depressive episode and suicidal ideation in bipolar patients. Psychotic symptoms in adult, depressed outpatients with bipolar disorder (BD) in a comparative effectiveness study of quetiapine versus lithium were assessed via Bipolar Inventory of Signs and Symptoms Scale (BISS); depressive episodes were assessed via Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI). The researchers found that, while a small proportion of bipolar disorder outpatients had current symptoms of psychosis during their depressive episode, those who did were more likely to endorse active suicidal thoughts, including suicide methods and plans.
