Moderate Change

Background There are a number of hypothesized underlying factors that, while present across a range of anxiety and fear-based disorders, are proposed to be specifically influential in the maintenance of social anxiety (SA) symptoms. Aims This study examined the influence of specific constructs (i.e., anxiety sensitivity, ruminative thinking, and depressive symptoms) on reduction of SA symptoms during a course of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). To better model potential causal relationships between observed moderators and social anxiety, time-lagged analyses between SA and significant moderators were also explored. Methods Participants (N = 107) were patients seeking treatment in a fee-for-service clinic specializing in CBT for anxiety disorders, OCD and PTSD. Participants were repeatedly assessed for a variety of symptoms and potential moderators throughout treatment. Results Even though anxiety sensitivity regarding social concerns, rumination, reflection, and depression showed significant within-and between-person relationships with SA symptoms, only rumination was found to uniquely moderate change in SA symptoms over the course of treatment. Specifically, those with higher average levels of ruminative thinking tended to improve greater on SA symptoms than those with lower levels throughout treatment. Further, this observed moderation effect was not found to significantly influence OCD, generalized anxiety, or PTSD symptoms. Finally, a bi-directional relationship was found between rumination and SA with rumination predicting subsequent changes in SA and vice versa. Conclusions High levels of ruminative thinking do not appear to be an impediment to improvement in SA symptoms in a naturalistic, treatment-seeking sample of individuals with anxiety disorders.

IntroductionMost of the literature examining sleep in anxiety disorders has focused on post-traumatic stress disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Few studies have examined sleep disturbances in social phobia. Yet, social phobia has a lifetime prevalence of 12%. Previous studies assessed sleep disturbances in small samples of individuals with social phobia. Most studies reported bivariate analysis, the only multivariate analysis being in non treatment-seeking individuals.ObjectivesTo assess insomnia severity in a population of treatment-seeking patients with social phobia and investigate correlations between insomnia, depression, general anxiety, and social anxiety.AimsTo demonstrate that positive associations exist between anxiety, depression, and insomnia in patients with social phobia, depression contributing the most to insomnia severity.MethodsOne hundred and seventy-nine treatment-seeking individuals with a DSM-IV diagnosis of social phobia completed the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HAD-A and HAD-D) and the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS).ResultsTwo-thirds of our sample had insomnia. Depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and insomnia were positively correlated. Sex, HAD-A and LSAS significantly contributed in explaining the ISI total score after accounting for age, medication use, and depression, whereas HAD-D was not a significant contributor. The model explained 33.5% of the overall variance.ConclusionAssessing sleep quality and quantity, and understanding the interactions between insomnia, anxiety and depression, is needed to improve treatment in patients with social phobia and could allow adapting cognitive and behavioral therapy for insomnia programs to social anxiety.

Background and aim: Poor sleep quality has been found associated with increasing risk of cardiovascular diseases. We aim to estimate the long-term risk of first cardiovascular (CVD) event (coronary or ischemic stroke) in subjects with sleep disturbances in North-Italian cohorts. Methods: Four independent population-based cohorts were enrolled between 1986 and 1994 from the Brianza population (Northern Italy). At baseline LDL-, HDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diabetes and cigarette smoking were ascertained through standardized MONICA procedures. The study sample comprises 3047 men and 3097 women, aged 25 to 75 years and CVD-free at baseline, who were followed-up for incidence of first coronary and ischemic stroke events (fatal and non-fatal; MONICA validated). Sleep disturbances were assessed with the Jenkins Sleep Questionnaire, investigating sleep disturbances (4 items) in the last month, and then categorized in three classes: none-some (reference), moderate, severe/extreme. Age and CVD risk factors adjusted HRs for first CVD, coronary or ischemic stroke event were estimated in the overall sample, in men and women, from separate Cox models. Results: In a median 15 years of follow-up 437 first CVD events occurred (305 coronary and ischemic stroke). When adjusting for LDL- and HDL-cholesterol, systolic blood pressure, diabetes and cigarette smoking, the risk of first CVD events was higher in subjects with severe sleep disorders compared with none-some (HR=1.84; 95%CI:1.19-2.84). Gender-stratification confirms the association both in men and women, but only in men resulted statistically significant (HR=2.34; 95%CI:1.34-4.08). The association was prominent for ischemic strokes (HR=2.10; 95%CI:1.11-3.97) and less clear for coronary events. These associations resulted higher when the follow-up was shortened to 10 years. Conclusions: In this population of middle-aged CVD-free subjects from Northern Italy, severe sleep disturbances were associated with first CVD events. The risk was higher in men and when ischemic strokes were considered only.
