Depression and anxiety are common, frequently co-occurring mental health disorders. Depression is marked by persistent low mood, loss of interest or pleasure, and disturbances of sleep, appetite, energy, and cognition, while anxiety disorders are characterized by excessive fear, worry, and physiological arousal. Together they impair daily functioning and are managed through psychotherapy, pharmacotherapy, behavioral and lifestyle interventions, and emerging neuromodulation approaches. They are tightly interwoven with sleep: insomnia both predicts and results from mood and anxiety symptoms, and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia is a recognized intervention. Research in this area examines the effectiveness of CBT-for-insomnia workshops, loneliness and bedtime procrastination among young adults, and the relationship of anxiety, depression, and personality to psychological well-being and suicidal ideation in nursing students. Studies also address depression and anxiety as complications of menopause, mental health in breast cancer patients, the treatment of depressed cancer patients with pain, photobiomodulation effects on mood and cognition, childhood somatic complaints and emotional functioning, resilience in multiple sclerosis during the pandemic, cognitive-analytic therapy for post-traumatic stress, and positive psychology in aging. Methods span clinical trials, surveys, systematic review, and psychosomatic perspectives on the mind-body connection. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on the assessment and treatment of depression and anxiety.
