Internalizing Disorder

The genetic and environmental contributions of negative valence systems (NVS) to internalizing pathways study (also referred to as the Adolescent and Young Adult Twin Study) was designed to examine varying constructs of the NVS as they relate to the development of internalizing disorders from a genetically informed perspective. The goal of this study was to evaluate genetic and environmental contributions to potential psychiatric endophenotypes that contribute to internalizing psychopathology by studying adolescent and young adult twins longitudinally over a 2-year period. This report details the sample characteristics, study design, and methodology of this study. The first wave of data collection (i.e., time 1) is complete; the 2-year follow-up (i.e., time 2) is currently underway. A total of 430 twin pairs (N = 860 individual twins; 166 monozygotic pairs; 57.2% female) and 422 parents or legal guardians participated at time 1. Twin participants completed self-report surveys and participated in experimental paradigms to assess processes within the NVS. Additionally, parents completed surveys to report on themselves and their twin children. Findings from this study will help clarify the genetic and environmental influences of the NVS and their association with internalizing risk. The goal of this line of research is to develop methods for early internalizing disorder risk detection.

ObjectivesPsychological therapy groups for people in adult mental health services can relieve waiting list pressures and potentially reduce stigma and social isolation. Compassion-focused therapy (CFT) focuses on shame and self-criticism. The aim of this study was to evaluate a transdiagnostic CFT group.DesignQuantitative and qualitative data were obtained from 13 people who completed the group.MethodsParticipants completed a range of pre- and post-group self-report outcome measures that assess self-criticism and self-compassion.ResultsStatistically significant improvements were found on all measures used, suggesting that attending the CFT group did result in meaningful changes. People who completed the group also provided positive feedback about the experience.ConclusionsThe results suggest that running CFT groups is feasible and acceptable to clients with a range of psychiatric diagnoses as part of their care from community mental health teams. People who completed the group demonstrated significant improvements. A proportion of people did not complete the group, and more research is required about the reasons for this. Limitations of this study are considered together with future directions for research into CFT.

Prospective Longitudinal

IntroductionAccording to the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), around 40% of the 79.5 million forcibly displaced persons in the end of the year 2019 were children. Exposure to violence and mental health problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder are frequently reported among migrant children, but there is a knowledge gap in our understanding of the complex longitudinal interplay between individual, social and societal risk and resilience factors that impact mental health and well-being, quality of life and ability to function and adapt. There is also an urgent societal need to facilitate interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaborative efforts to develop effective methods to prevent, detect and respond to the needs of the migrants. This project will study adolescent and young adult migrants in Sweden using multiple methods such as quantitative analysis of data from a prospective cohort study and qualitative analysis of data gathered from teller-focused interviews. The aim is to understand how different factors impact mental health and integration into the Swedish society. Furthermore, individual experiences related to the migration process and exposure to violence will be studied in detail.Methods and analysisStudy participants will include 490 migrants aged 12–25 years recruited through social services, healthcare, social media and the civil society. A subsample of adolescents (n=160) will be re-interviewed after 1 year. Data are collected using structured and semi-structured interviews along with saliva and hair sampling. Measures include sociodemographic data, longitudinal data on mental health and its determinants, including genotypes and stress-hormone levels, access to healthcare and the process of migration, including settlement in Sweden.Ethics and disseminationThe Regional Ethics Board of Linköping (2018/292-31 and 2018/504-32) and the National Ethics Board (2019–05473,2020–00949 and 2021-03001) have approved the study. Results will be made available to participants, their caregivers, professionals working with migrants, researchers and the funders.
