The Effect of Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) on Depression in Postmenopausal
The aim of this study is to determine the effect of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), a nonpharmacological method, on menopausal symptoms and depression in postmenopausal women. By determining the effectiveness of the Emotional Freedom Technique, the applicability of non-pharmacological method treatment in women with depression and menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal period will be proven. As a result of the study, if a positive effect on menopausal symptoms and depression is found in women with EFT, it can be recommended as an evidence-based alternative method in midwifery and nursing care.

Precision Psychiatry for Depression: Immune Response and Affective Symptoms as Predictors of Response to Antidepressants
Objectives: To identify in patients with major depression different peripheral markers of neuroinflammation in relation to affective symptoms (anxiety, depression, irritability), fatigue and cognitive symptoms; and its relationship with the response to antidepressant treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Methodology: This is a prospective observational cohort study in patients with major depression naturally subjected to treatment with SSRIs. For this, 30 patients with major depression attended in the Outpatient Psychiatry Consultations will be selected. All of them will be evaluated at baseline and after 3 months of treatment, collecting demographic and clinical variables, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th edition (DSM-5) psychiatric diagnoses, psychopathological scales and immunological and biochemical variables. The correlation between immunological markers and affective and cognitive symptoms at baseline, as well as their variation with treatment, will be analyzed. A group of 20 healthy subjects will be used as a control group. Subsequently, a bivariate comparative analysis will be carried out, where the statistically significant or marginally significant variables associated with psychopathological variables will be used to build a multivariate binary logistic regression model.

Standardized Assessment in Depression Treatment in Routine Psychiatric Services: a Retrospective Medical Record Review
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate current practices in depression treatment in psychiatric services in Stockholm, Sweden. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Are current practices consistent with local clinical guidelines in terms of standardized assessment and the treatments provided? - What are the present conditions for implementing measurement-based care in depression treatment in this setting? Data will be collected retrospectively from medical records of patients having received psychological or pharmacological treatment for depression from 2020 to 2023. Frequency of standardized assessments (not scores) using the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale, the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale-Self Assessment, and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 is collected, together with information on patient, clinician, and treatment characteristics.

Acceptability and Feasibility of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for Depression in Multiple Sclerosis
The goal of this single-arm, observational pilot study is to learn about the safety, feasibility, preliminary efficacy of TMS for the treatment of depression in people with MS. Participants will receive outpatient TMS treatment over the course of 5-6 weeks. Participants will complete validated questionnaires and exams before, during, and after treatment.

Randomised Sham-controlled Trial of Whole-body Hyperthermia for Depression
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of whole-body hyperthermia in major depression. The main question it aims to answer is: • Does whole-body hyperthermia alleviate symptoms of depression? Participants will be randomised to sham or active whole-body hyperthermia. The study will last 6 weeks during which five visits will take place. Depression will be measured repeatedly and biological mechanisms will be investigated.

Effects of Accelerated Bilateral Sequential Theta Burst Stimulation on Dual-task Cost, Depression, Cognition and Other Outcomes in Older Adults With Treatment-resistant Depression: A Randomized, Double-blind, Sham-controlled Trial
The CogniTReaD study is a pilot clinical trial that will compare the effects of active accelerated bilateral sequential theta burst stimulation (absTBS) and sham or inactive treatment. The goal is to see if absTBS can help older adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) by looking at dual-task cost and mood, as well as other cognitive functions, anxiety levels, quality of life, and physical performance, while also checking for any treatment side effects. The study will recruit participants who will receive different study treatments in a specific order. The study will be double-blinded, meaning neither the participants nor the researchers will know who is receiving which treatment. The study will include people who are 50 years old or older and diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression with at least a moderate severity of depression. This study seeks to discover if absTBS can modify a dementia risk marker (i.e., dual-task cost and depression) in older patients with TRD, and to determine the effect size for larger investigations in the future.

Mood-reactive Habitual Rumination and Changes During Behavioral Activation Treatment for Major Depression
Depressive rumination, a negative thinking style characterized by repetitive and passive thoughts about the causes, meanings, and consequences of one's feelings and distress, is often described as being a habitual response tendency that forms a vulnerability to depression. Behavioural Activation (BA) is an effective treatment for depression but little is known of mechanisms of changes during a successful treatment completion and for whom the treatment benefits the most. The main purpose of the study is to investigate whether habit-like mood-reactive rumination will change during Behavioral Activation treatment for current depression and mediates symptom changes in the treatment. Important moderators of change will also be investigated (i.e. history of early life stress and cognitive flexibility). We aim to provide individual BA treatment for up to 130 currently depressed participants in 12 treatment sessions over 11 weeks. Measures are obtained at pre-treatment, during treatment, at post-treatment and at 6 month follow up.
