In Memoriam
 Michael J. Kozak, PhD
Dr. Michael Kozak, a long-time ADAA member, mentor, conference presenter and supporter, passed away last week. Dr. Kozak’s work and research were focused on understanding and treating anxiety and related conditions and he is considered to be a pioneer in the field of OCD. Dr. Kozak earned his A.B. in psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied animal learned helplessness, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Wisconsin- Madison, where he studied the psychophysiology of emotional imagery. He has studied process and outcome of psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy for anxiety, including blood/injury phobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety. His scholarly publications include case studies and controlled treatment trials, psychophysiological assessments, theoretical and review articles, and philosophical analyses. His manual for exposure-based treatment, Mastery of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, co-authored with longtime ADAA member Dr. Edna Foa, has been translated into German and Norwegian. Dr. Kozak’s devotion to and passion for his work will be much missed by those who had the honor of knowing and collaborating with him.
“Michael was a very close collaborator for 19 years. His extraordinary conceptual ability has greatly influenced my theoretical and empirical work to this day.” — Edna B. Foa, PhD – ADAA Member
“The world of psychology will remember the footprints you left, and the generations to come will carry the bright torch that you lit. I will always remember your clarity, wisdom, and intelligence, and I will carry our memories from our quarter of a century friendship in my heart always." — Eda Gorbis, PhD, LMFT – ADAA Member

Yale Medicine
On March 5, the Food and Drug Administration approved the first truly new medication for major depression in decades. The drug is a nasal spray called esketamine, derived from ketamine—an anesthetic that has made waves for its surprising antidepressant effect.
Because treatment with esketamine might be so helpful to patients with treatment-resistant depression, the FDA expedited the approval process to make it more quickly available. In one study, 70 percent of patients with treatment-resistant depression who were started on an oral antidepressant and intranasal esketamine improved, compared to just over half in the group that did not receive the medication.

For the first time in history, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved a drug specifically indicated for the treatment of postpartum depression, which experts say offers new hope to women and physicians.
The FDA announced the approval of an intravenous infusion of the drug brexanolone, which will be sold as Zulresso. It has been shown in clinical trials to work within hours to treat the symptoms of postpartum depression, a serious mental illness that impacts one in nine new mothers after childbirth.

Yale researchers have developed an innovative way to address an epidemic of anxiety disorders afflicting the nation’s children: treat the parents.
A new program developed at Yale that counsels parents is as effective in treating common anxiety disorders as cognitive behavioral therapy for the child, according to a randomized trial of the two therapies published in the Journal of the American Academy of Childhood and Adolescent Psychiatry.

Major depression, serious psychological distress and other mental health issues have been on the rise in teenagers and young adults over the past decade, according to recently published research in the Journal of Abnormal Psychology. "More U.S. adolescents and young adults in the late 2010s, versus the mid-2000s, experienced serious psychological distress, major depression or suicidal thoughts, and more attempted suicide,” lead author Jean Twenge said in a statement. “These trends are weak or non-existent among adults 26 years and over, suggesting a generational shift in mood disorders instead of an overall increase across all ages."

Task & Purpose
The newest FDA-approved medication to treat severe depression, a nasal spray based on the anesthetic (and misused hallucinogenic party drug) ketamine, will soon be available to veterans treated within the Department of Veterans Affairs.
In a move that may help thousands of former service members with depression that has not improved with other treatments, VA officials announced that the department's doctors are now authorized to prescribe Spravato, the brand name for esketamine, a molecular variation of ketamine.

In an Addiction analysis of relevant published studies, investigators found some evidence for a positive association between anxiety during childhood and adolescence with later alcohol use disorders. The authors of the analysis noted that it is important to establish which anxious individuals consume more alcohol and develop alcohol use disorders in order to develop targeted interventions.

A study of over a hundred people’s brains suggests that abuse during childhood is linked to changes in brain structure that may make depression more severe in later life.
Nils Opel at the University of Münster, Germany, and his colleagues scanned the brains of 110 adults hospitalised for major depressive disorder and asked them about the severity of their depression and whether they had experienced neglect or emotional, sexual or physical abuse during childhood.

A new large-scale longitudinal study carried out by University of Sussex psychologists has found a clear link between episodes of depression and anxiety experienced by adults in their twenties, thirties and forties with a decrease in memory function by the time they are in their fifties. The study, published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, is the first of its kind to look at the relationship between depressive symptoms experienced across three decades of early-mid adulthood and a decline in cognitive function in midlife.

Researchers already recognized the link between depression and heart disease. However, until recently, the mechanisms explaining it remained a mystery. A new study reveals that stress-induced inflammation may explain why mental and cardiovascular health are so intimately related.

A new interactive website launched by UNSW mental health researchers allows people with a family history of major depressive or bipolar disorder to work out how likely it is that they – or any of their offspring – could develop these mental illnesses.
And according to the research article published in BMC Psychiatry, which reported on a trial of this website with 202 participants, this new psychoeducational tool fills a gap in knowledge that is unmet by existing online interventions.
