This case report describes a 44-year-old man with major depressive disorder and psychotic features who experienced Cotard's delusion (false belief that parts of his body were decaying or that he was dead). The patient showed limited response to various antidepressant-antipsychotic combinations but achieved substantial improvement with venlafaxine monotherapy, highlighting the need for further research into optimal pharmacological treatments for this rare condition.
This study examined 1,243 adults with major depressive disorder to understand how hypomanic symptoms affect treatment response and suicidal ideation remission.

Depression and anxiety are significantly more common in cirrhosis patients than the general population, with prevalence increasing substantially over the past decade, and both conditions negatively impact quality of life and treatment outcomes.
