Transl Psychiatry. 2021 Mar 4;11(1):155. doi: 10.1038/s41398-021-01270-5. ABSTRACT Maternal postpartum depression (PPD) is a significant public health concern due to the severe negative impact on maternal and child health and well-being. In this study, we aimed to identify genes associated with PPD. To do this, we investigated genome-wide gene expression profiles of pregnant women during…

Int J Bipolar Disord. 2021 Mar 1;9(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s40345-020-00214-0. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: The Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) measured as the transient increase in cortisol levels following morning awakening appears to be a distinct feature of the HPA axis. Patients with bipolar disorder (BD) experience daily stress, mood instability (MI) and studies have shown disrupted HPA-axis dynamics.…

Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. 2021 Mar;44:23-33. doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2020.12.010. Epub 2021 Jan 15. ABSTRACT Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent brain disorder for which anhedonia is a core symptom, indicating aberrations in the neural processing of reward. The striatum, medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and anterior insula (AI) are core reward processing regions. Here we used a reward-related,…

Acta Psychiatr Scand. 2020 Oct;142(4):294-306. doi: 10.1111/acps.13211. Epub 2020 Jul 21. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: Sex steroid hormones potently shape brain functions, including those critical to maintain mental health such as serotonin signaling. Use of oral contraceptives (OCs) profoundly changes endogenous sex steroid hormone levels and dynamics. Recent register-based studies show that starting an OC is associated…

Eur Neuropsychopharmacol. 2021 Jan;42:97-109. doi: 10.1016/j.euroneuro.2020.10.006. Epub 2020 Nov 3. ABSTRACT Pregnancy and childbirth are among the strongest risk factors for depression but the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying this enhanced risk are unknown. This study investigated emotional and non-emotional cognition in 57 pregnant women with or without an affective disorder during their third trimester, and the…
