From discovery to proof: a Translation Evidence Map for precision psychiatry

The Personal View discusses examples spanning inflammatory and circuit-based depression stratification, psychosis relapse monitoring, and suicidality monitoring, illustrating how the Map makes claim maturity, stopping points, stakeholder roles, and trade-offs important to patients explicit. Precision psychiatry aims to improve individual-patient decisions by measuring clinically meaningful heterogeneity, not by privileging any one data type, biomarker (measurable biological signal), or analytical method.

A preconceptional stress model identifies thalamostriatal substrates of intergenerational vulnerability

This work establishes SIR as a translationally relevant model of depression that predates conception and provides integrated MRI- and molecular-level biomarkers for dissecting mechanisms and informing early preventive strategies. Transcriptomic profiling of the thalamus revealed widespread, sex-dependent differences in gene expression, implicating pathways related to synaptic organization, protein synthesis, neuronal plasticity, and myelination.

Longitudinal prediction of adolescent depression from environmental and polygenic risk scores

Though external validation of depRS across geographically and gender diverse cohorts is needed to assess generalisability, findings highlight sleep and dieting as potential targets for mitigating risk and demonstrate the utility of genetic scores in models predicting adolescent depression. The final depRS model included 12 predictors and explained 12.3% of overall variance.

Online Sports Betting Legalization and Behavioral Health Care Use

Results of this quasi-experimental difference-in-differences study suggest that online sports betting legalization was associated with an increase in outpatient and prescription mental health care use among people with employer-sponsored health insurance. These findings underscore the importance of prevention and treatment of potential adverse health consequences of legalized online sports betting.
