Sleep is a critical but frequently disrupted part of hospital care, affecting patient recovery, length of stay, and physical and mental health. This review examines recent evidence (2022-2026) on why inpatient sleep is disrupted and how interventions can mitigate disturbance across different patient groups and hospital settings.

Research on Autism in eating disorders (EDs) has historically focused on anorexia nervosa (AN), with comparatively limited attention given to binge-type EDs such as bulimia nervosa (BN) and binge eating disorder (BED). This review summarises emerging evidence on Autism in binge-type EDs and highlights key clinical and research implications.

Psychological autopsy (PA) is a methodological approach aimed at reconstructing the psychological and contextual factors leading to an individual's death, particularly in cases of suicide. This article provides a comprehensive review of Psychological Autopsy Protocols, examining their evolution across the decades from the first generation of psychological autopsy studies to a second generation focusing on methodological improvements.

As children move from being a minor to 18 and over as adults, the decision-making power shifts from the parent to the now adult child. That is unless legal guardianship is sought. One of the first encounters parents begin to really process the ramifications of this change is at school during individualized education program (IEP) transition planning meetings which begin for students with disabilities as early as 14 years in some states and school systems and required by federal law to occur by 16 years old. Local education agencies, or school districts, are required to inform students and parents of the shift in responsibilities when the child reaches the age of majority of 18 years old. This paper provides alternatives to guardianship and explores ways in which healthcare providers can support their patients who may be exploring decision-making options at 18 years old.

Despite Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) remaining the frontline treatment for Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD), the therapeutic potential of yoga and mindfulness-based interventions (YBIs/MBIs) remains incompletely synthesized. This narrative review evaluates their efficacy in reducing IGD symptoms and associated psychosocial outcomes, while identifying underlying therapeutic mechanisms and research gaps.

Growing evidence suggests that adverse childhood experiences (ACE) increase the risk for reproductive mood disorders (RMD), i.e. premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, postpartum and perimenopausal depression, and might be associated with symptom severity in these disorders. However, evidence for the specific impact of ACE subtypes remains scarce. This review investigates whether certain ACE subtypes are more prevalent among women with RMDs, whether women exposed to ACE have a higher risk to develop such disorders and if the degree of exposure is associated with the symptom severity.

This review evaluates evidence linking both GLP-1 and GIP/GLP-1RAs' exposure to a range of neuropsychiatric outcomes using the Bradford Hill criteria for causal inference.

The transition to parenthood is a unique period of adulthood during which the brain undergoes profound and rapid changes, particularly in birthing mothers. This transition is also associated with a risk of developing mental illness, likely due to intersections among the neurobiological changes and a host of psychosocial factors including one's history of mental illness and lack of adequate support systems for parents.

This review aims to report the recent advances for eating disorder focused family therapy (FT-ED) for Autistic children and young people, including outcomes, experiences, and suggested adaptations.

Recurrent deliberate foreign body ingestion (DFBI) is a high-risk, resource-intensive behavior most often associated with underlying psychiatric conditions. Although medical and surgical complications are well documented, the psychiatric drivers and optimal management of DFBI are less well characterized. This review synthesizes current evidence on the epidemiology, psychiatric comorbidities, behavioral mechanisms, management strategies, and ethical challenges associated with DFBI [1, 2, 4, 6].

This narrative review focuses on the relationship between perceived family support and suicide risk in adolescence (10-19 years, with some evidence extending into young adulthood), emphasizing the role of family support as a buffer against stressful life events.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is an aggressive primary brain tumor associated with poor prognosis, rapid functional decline, and psychological distress. An updated review of the literature is lacking, despite that patients with GBM appear to be among the highest risk for suicide among cancer patients. This review summarizes up-to-date evidence of suicide risk factors, screening approaches, and suicide mitigation strategies in patients with GBM.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition with significant implications for childhood development and public health. Early detection is critical to enable timely intervention, yet access to specialised assessment remains limited in many settings. In this context, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained increasing attention as a potential tool to support early ASD screening. This review summarises recent evidence on the use of AI for the screening and early detection in childhood.

This review summarizes recent advances in the genetics of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), their contribution to understanding disorder biology, and implication for clinical translation.

This review critically evaluates the claim that etiology is not relevant to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Research on the clinical presentation and treatment outcomes associated with traumatic/stressor and biological etiologies is presented.
