Executive Dysfunction in Depression Authored by Shahbaz khan Executive dysfunction is common in Major depression and includes problems with planning, organizing, sequencing, shifting, information processing speed, and maintaining information in working memory [1,2]. The relationship is complex and adds to the disability [3]. The test commonly used for executive function in psychiatric disorders is the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) [4]. Studies have shown that WCST scores may be affected even with relatively mild depression [5] and executive dysfunction may vary as a function of the severity of depression [6].

Emotion Regulation and Existential Meaning-Making in Young Women with Mental Ill-Health Concerns–A Qualitative Study Authored by Christina Lloyd Increasing rates of psychiatric problems, like anxiety, worry, and anguish among Swedish youth–especially among females, are considered a serious public mental health concern. To explore psychological and existential vulnerability and needs among female youths with mental ill-health concerns, a qualitative in-depth interview study was done with a sample comprised of ten females on the waiting-list at an outpatient psychotherapy clinic. In relation to everyday life, critical events, and ultimate concerns, two areas were explored: Emotion regulation and Existential meaning-making, and their interrelations were examined. Results indicated that these areas appear to be strongly related processes in this sample, possibly due to frequent experiences of relational losses and disruptions. Such experiences, if not repaired, might
