Disrupted glutamatergic signaling across cortical and subcortical circuits is increasingly recognized as a critical player in the pathophysiology of psychosis. Using ultra-high-field (7 Tesla) proton MRS, we quantified glutamate levels across five...
Background Individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) exhibit lower psychological resilience and quality of life (QoL) than healthy individuals, but whether these outcomes differ between bipolar I disorder (BD-I) and bipolar II disorder (BD-II) remains...
Background Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) communities were disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, experience significant mental health inequities, and are more likely to have disabilities than cisgender people. This study assessed how...
