The gut microbiome and child and adolescent depression and anxiety: A systematic review and meta-analysis with youth consultation (Campisi SC, Zhang F, Seo M, et al.)
An overview of eight studies examining the relationship between the gut microbiome, internalizing problems (withdrawal, sadness), depression, and anxiety was done by Susan Campisi. The review suggests a potential link between depressive symptoms and a gut microbiome characterized by reduced beneficial bacteria and increased taxa associated with inflammation and poor dietary patterns.
The association of diet and depression: an analysis of dietary measures in depressed, non-depressed, and healthy youth (Korczak et al.)
Dietary habits among children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD), non-MDD psychiatric conditions, or without psychiatric illness were measured through self-reports of dietary intake. The study's results indicated that children with MDD consume fewer healthy foods than non-MDD children. These findings may help future research determine the directionality of this association.
Recruitment of adolescents with suicidal ideation in the emergency department: lessons from a randomized controlled pilot trial of a youth suicide prevention intervention (Tracey et al.)
This pilot RCT of a youth suicide prevention intervention recruited adolescents aged 12 to 17 years presenting to a pediatric hospital ED with suicide related behaviors, and provided evidence that EDs are feasible sites for participant recruitment in RCTs.
