Abstract

One of the key features of gambling disorder (GD) is impairment in cognitive-emotional control. Considering the negative consequences of GD, the present study investigated the effectiveness of emotional working memory training (eWMT) in improving cognitive control, attention, working memory capacity, and cognitive emotion regulation strategies (CERS) among young adults with GD compared to a placebo group. Following the initial assessment in the pre-test phase, eligible participants were randomly assigned to one of two groups: experimental (n = 34) and placebo (n = 30). These groups completed eWMT and a feature matching task for 20 sessions respectively. The post-test and follow-up measures indicated that eWMT significantly improved cognitive control, attention, working memory capacity, and the use of maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies, but it had no significant effect on adaptive CERS. The promising results of the present study suggest the use of eWMT as a new intervention to improve cognitive-emotional control among individuals with online gambling problems.

Leben statt zu Überleben: Post-Intensive-Care-Syndrom

Immer mehr Menschen überleben kritische Erkrankungen. Aber Beatmung, Sedierung und die Eindrücke der Intensivstation hinterlassen Spuren. Das Post-Intensive-Care-Syndrom kann die Folge sein. Es ist nicht nur eine Herausforderung für Kliniken, sondern auch Hausarztpraxen. Mit Allgemeinmediziner Prof. Dr. med. Konrad Schmidt sprechen wir in dieser Folge darüber, wie die Überlebenden wieder ins Leben finden können.

Digitale Therapie lindert Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung

Eine rein digitale Therapie ohne therapeutische Unterstützung kann die Symptomatik bei Borderline-Persönlichkeitsstörung bereits etwas lindern, auch scheint sie das Suizidrisiko zu mindern. Darauf deuten Ergebnisse einer großen kontrollierten Studie. Die Effekte sind aber eher gering.

Schadet Schichtarbeit dem Gehirn?

Eine große Registerstudie bestätigt, dass Schichtarbeit mit einem erhöhten Risiko für psychische und neurologische Erkrankungen einhergeht, sowie mit einer Volumenabnahme in Gehirnarealen, die für Depression, Angst und kognitive Funktionen relevant sind.

Starke Menopausensymptome: ein Hinweis auf kognitive Veränderungen?

Stärkere Beschwerden in der Perimenopause sind mit einer reduzierten kognitiven Funktion in den mittleren und späteren Lebensjahren assoziiert. Auch das Verhalten kann sich ändern, wie eine Studie zeigt. Beides steht womöglich für erhöhte Demenzgefährdung.
