This neuroimaging study compared brain structural connectivity in 25 individuals with gambling disorder versus 28 healthy controls using diffusion tensor imaging and probabilistic tractography. The gambling disorder group showed increased striatal connectivity but reduced frontal lobe connectivity and fewer neural hubs, suggesting impaired network integration related to risk-taking control.
This study examined how children with social anxiety disorder (SAD) perceive their social performance compared to objective observer ratings, finding that children with SAD consistently rate themselves more negatively than peers despite similar actual performance. Repeated exposure to social-evaluative tasks with brief parental support or self-instruction improved children's self-ratings over time, though negative self-appraisal remained a core feature of childhood SAD.
This study compared attentional patterns in 42 children with social anxiety disorder (SAD) and 46 healthy controls during anticipation of a social stress task. While reaction time measures showed no group differences, eye-tracking revealed that children with SAD fixated more frequently and longer on audience faces, suggesting heightened hypervigilance to social cues that standard behavioral measures may not capture.
This longitudinal study of over 6,900 adults examined associations between empirically-derived dietary patterns and subsequent risk of depression and anxiety using annual validated screening questionnaires. High consumption of fast food and sugar was associated with approximately doubled risk of both depression symptoms and anxiety disorder, while vegetable-rich and vegetarian-like diets showed no protective effect in the total population.
This randomized controlled trial compares two AI-delivered psychotherapy approaches—psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral therapy—for treating social anxiety disorder. The study evaluates the efficacy of automated therapy systems in delivering evidence-based interventions.
