Our issue concludes with a Letter to The Editor by Merlo et al., emphasizing that fostering knowledge exchange and dissemination is a crucial step toward scientific progress and understanding complex, multifactorial outcomes.

Testing Cognitive Models of Social Anxiety (SAs): Lange and Hagenaars show that higher levels of SAs are related to an increase in body sway when approached by strangers. The negative evaluation of SAs requires further investigation.

Post-Pandemic Health Struggles: The study by Brocki et al. highlights lasting mental and physical health struggles in Sweden post-pandemic, emphasizing the urgent need for long-term support strategies for vulnerable populations.

Assessing Perinatal Psychiatric Morbidity: Ciuffo et al. report that, despite their low prevalence, CB-PTSD symptoms are common. When accompanied by depression, they impair the ability to form attachments, underscoring the need for improved early detection using validated instruments. 👭

Breast Cancer & Remote Physical Activity (RPA): Caudroit et al. support the utility of RPA interventions for women with breast cancer and severe depressive or anxiety symptoms. Such interventions may be beneficial for adults experiencing severe psychological stress. @paquitobernard.bsky.social

Long-lasting improvements with 'IBD-specific-CBT': Bennebroek Evertsz' et al. examined the effects of 'IBD-specific-CBT' and found sustainable positive outcomes for IBD patients with poor mental QoL. The prevalence of mental conditions substantially decreased over three year follow-up. 🗓️

Attitudes Towards Digital Health Interventions in Germany: Steubel et al. find that participants recognize the potential benefits of digital interventions. Nevertheless, limited acceptance rates and identified barriers - such as concerns regarding data privacy - need to be addressed.

Flückiger et al. emphasize the need for a 21st-century definition of mental health, highlighting the limitations of the categorical classification system. The article underscores the importance of reciprocal exchange of knowledge between research and practice. 🚀

Hunsmann et al. reported elevated psychological distress among German university students in 2023, exceeding early pandemic levels. Loneliness was the strongest predictor, particularly among students with mental health histories, and female or non-binary individuals.

Depression and hopelessness in young people's suicidality: Gómez Tabares et al. state that impulsivity mediates the impact of depression and hopelessness on suicide risk and attempts in young people, explaining significant variance in suicidal behaviour. doi.org/10.32872/cpe...

Motive networks in non-clinical participants: Lüdtke et al. show that idiographic motive networks empirically capture and visualize whether the satisfaction of a motive (e.g., affiliation) impairs or facilitates the satisfaction of another motive (e.g., autonomy).

Health anxiety: Lamm et al. found out that adverse life events and the personality trait neuroticism are associated with health anxiety, but evidence for the specificity of illness/death related life events is inconsistent.
doi.org/10.32872/cpe...

Daily Diary Study on NSSI: Michaela Bruckbauer-Schwed reports that dynamic complexity allows for the representation of affective change in individuals with a history of NSSI compared to controls.
