"I wanted to share the good news that the 2015 impact factor for Depression and Anxiety has increased over 2014 — moving from 4.407 to 5.004. The journal is now ranked 19 of 140 in psychiatry (formerly 23 of 135 in 2014) and 10 of 76 in psychology (same rank as last year)."
- The impact factor of an academic journal is a measure that reflects the yearly average number of citations to recent articles published in that journal. It is frequently used as a proxy for the relative importance of a journal within its field, with journals with higher impact factors considered more important than those with lower ones. The impact factor is used to compare different journals within a field; the higher the impact factor, the more highly ranked the journal.
Dr. Roy-Byrne continues, "We rely heavily on our editorial board to review and advise us on the importance and suitability of submitted manuscripts. I am extremely grateful for your work, which continues to improve the quality of the journal and enhance the value of published papers for our reader audience.
"I also want to acknowledge the tireless efforts of our Deputy and Associate Editors who handle many of the manuscripts and editorial decisions for us: Myrna Weissman, Rudolf Uher and Naomi Simon. Their keen and critical eyes continue to help us in our quest to provide content that seamlessly translates scientific evidence to clinical practice.
"Finally, a special thanks to the entire staff at ADAA and current President Karen Cassiday for continued efforts to administratively support the journal, helping us to draw on some of the excellent scientific content presented at the annual meeting, and to Darren Green and the team at Wiley who publish the journal."

Depression and Anxiety
Depression is a highly prevalent disease with a high morbidity
and mortality risk. Its pathophysiology is not entirely clear. However, Type 2
diabetes is an important risk factor for depression. One mechanism that may
explain this association may include the formation of advanced glycation end
products (AGEs).

The analysis, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, examined 14 antidepressants given to young people in various randomized trials conducted through May 2015.

Every day, new neurons are born in our brains — often in the hundreds per day, and in some people, over a thousand. This process, called neurogenesis, has long been known to be active at a much more intensive level in utero, when the brain is growing very rapidly, and was thought to cease in the first years of life.
