A significant minority (5 %) of adolescents develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after trauma exposure. These adolescents are likely to experience many other mental health problems and have related impaired functioning. This study examined the co-occurrence of Emotional and Behavioral Problems (EBP) with PTSD symptoms and investigated the effect of PTSD symptoms on EBP-related impaired functioning. The initial sample (T1) comprised 729 Sri Lankan adolescents, age 12-16 years, living in an area impacted by the 2004 tsunami. In 2008, participants (T1) completed measures of trauma exposure, PTSD symptoms, EBP and related functional impairment. Sixteen months later a subsample of 90 adolescents (T2) underwent diagnostic interview for PTSD and co-occurrence of mental health morbidity. In the 58.2 % of the T1 sample reporting any trauma exposure, 23.7 % met criteria for full or partial PTSD. Among all participants, 13.4 % had borderline to abnormal levels of EBP. EBP was significantly higher among PTSD-positive participants compared to PTSD-negative and non-traumatized subgroups (p less then 0.001). In the T2 sample, all four cases with diagnosed PTSD had coexisting psychological problems. Further, PTSD symptoms exacerbated the impact of EBP on functional impairment. Findings support the conclusion that researchers and practitioners should be alert to EBP among trauma-exposed adolescents, because such general psychological problems are common and, in combination with PTSD symptoms, are associated with even greater impairment. Moreover, identifying the presence of these trauma associated problems is of crucial clinical importance.
  Among all known risk factors of preterm birth, psychosocial factors form an intricate collection, which includes a multidimensional spectrum of interrelated mediating mechanisms. The understanding of these interconnected mechanisms is vital for designing targeted interventions to reduce preterm births. The objective of this systematic review was to investigate potential psychosocial maternal factors and their interactions to cause preterm birth.
 
  PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews were searched for U.S.-based English language studies published between 1989 and 2019. Titles, abstracts, and full-texts were screened to determine eligibility for inclusion. Data were extracted from eligible studies using a customized data collection form. The National Institutes of Health assessment tool was utilized for quality assessment.
 
  Among the 76 full texts that were reviewed, 9 records met the eligibility criteria, and were included in the final review.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/Decitabine.html  The included publicatioextensive maternal health monitoring among minority groups during the pregnancy period.
  Older adults with depression often have cognitive deficits contributing to higher morbidity and increased risk for conversion to dementia. Research on this area is limited from India.
 
  The objective of the current study is to examine the neuropsychological measures in older adults with Late-onset depression (LOD) compared to healthy controls (HC).
 
  Sample included older adults with depression as per DSM-IV TR criteria seeking treatment from Geriatric Clinic and Services, National Institute of Mental Health and Neurosciences (NIMHANS). Geriatric depression scale, Montgomery Asberg depression rating scale and Hamilton anxiety rating scale were applied to screen and measure the severity of depression. Comprehensive assessment of neurocognitive function was done using NIMAHNS Neuropsychological Battery for Elderly (NNBE, 2013).
 
  Sample included 76 LOD patients and 76 healthy controls (HC) who were matched for age, gender and education. The mean age of onset of illness was 63.17(SD-6.54) years and median duration of total illness was 29.5 months. In the standard assessments, the mean score on GDS was 9.28 (SD-3.32) and MADRS was 18.88 (SD-6.07). The LOD group had lower Hindi Mental Status Examination (HMSE) score compared to HC (28.64 ± 2.09 vs 30.05 ± 1.26, p < 0.001). Compared to HC, LOD group performed poorly on tasks of attention, executive function, verbal and visual memory, verbal fluency and visuo-spatial skills. Recognition memory and logical memory were relatively preserved in LOD compared to HC.
 
  Cognitive deficits were seen predominantly in attention and executive function, visuo-spatial skills and memory similar to previous studies. It is advisable to routinely assess cognitive symptoms in older adults presenting with depression.
 Cognitive deficits were seen predominantly in attention and executive function, visuo-spatial skills and memory similar to previous studies. It is advisable to routinely assess cognitive symptoms in older adults presenting with depression.The rapid spread of COVID-19 and the devastating consequences to economies and healthcare systems around the world has highlighted the exigent need for accessible mental health support. Increasing use of mobile devices in Lower Middle-Income Countries (LMIC) such as India offers novel opportunity to expand treatment options and reach underserved populations. Prior efforts have utilized technology to redistribute or supplement clinical care but measurable outcomes of this research are limited. In this paper, we explain the structural barriers that prevent access to care and build on prior research to demonstrate how technology can be utilized to offer treatment if it is aided by education and technical support.
  Limited information is available on the prevalence of depression and its correlates in patients with schizophrenia in clinical remission. This study aims to understand the prevalence of depression in patients with schizophrenia currently in clinical remission and evaluate the impact of depression on the functioning, disability, and quality of life.
 
  250 participants diagnosed with schizophrenia, currently in clinical remission, were recruited by convenient sampling and assessed on the Calgary Depression Scale for Schizophrenia (CDSS). Participants were also assessed on positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS), Global Assessment of Functioning Scale, Indian Disability Evaluation and Assessment Scale, and World Health Organization Quality of Life - Bref Version.
 
  As per CDSS, the prevalence of mild depression (≥ 5) and significant depression (≥ 7) were 27.6 % and 18.8 % respectively. The presence of significant depression was associated higher level of residual psychopathology on PANSS (in general psychopathology score, prosocial score and total score), poor functioning, higher level of disability in the domain of interpersonal activities, higher prevalence of physical comorbidity and poor quality of life compared to those without significant depression.
