The burden of depressive disorder is large and new treatment approaches are required. Repurposing widely available drugs such as statins may be a time- and cost-effective solution. Statins have anti-inflammatory and ...
Clinical- and cost-effectiveness of a technology-supported and solution-focused intervention (DIALOG+) in treatment of patients with chronic depression—study protocol for a multi-site, cluster randomised controlled trial [TACK]
(2022-03)
Many with an acute depressive disorder go on to develop chronic depression, despite ongoing care. There are few specifically designed interventions to treat chronic depression. DIALOG+, a technology-assisted intervention ...
Onset and recurrence of psychiatric disorders associated with anti-hypertensive drug classes
(2021-05)
The major anti-hypertensive (AHT) drug classes have been associated with differential risks of psychiatric disorders. However, existing data are limited largely to depression, and confounding variables have not always been ...
Stimulating human prefrontal cortex increases reward learning
(2021-01)
Work in computational psychiatry suggests that mood disorders may stem from aberrant
reinforcement learning processes. Specifically, it is proposed that depressed individuals believe
that negative events are more informative ...
Development of an app for lung cancer survivors (iEXHALE) to increase exercise activity and improve symptoms of fatigue, breathlessness and depression
(2019-11)

Development and validation of a meta-learner for combining statistical and machine learning prediction models in individuals with depression
(2022-05)
The debate of whether machine learning models offer advantages over standard statistical methods when making predictions is ongoing. We discuss the use of a meta-learner model combining both approaches as an alternative. ...
