    Abstract Objective: The aim of the study is to examine the efficacy of omega-3 fatty acid as an adjunct to ongoing pharmacological treatments in patients with residual symptoms of depression and anxiety.
    Methods/procedures: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over trial was conducted at a single private practice site. Participants were drawn from patients attending the practice.Patients meeting criteria had a 4-week run-in period where they continued to receive their prescribed medications and omega-3 supplements. Depression and anxiety ratings were assessed at recruitment and completion of the run-in phase. Patients were randomized to receive an omega-3 supplement (Neurospark) or placebo once daily for 8 weeks then crossed over to the alternative treatment. At the end of the double-blind, cross-over phase, patients received the supplement and were assessed after a 4-week run-out phase.Depression and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton scales. Efficacy of treatment was assessed using a linear mixed model analysis with time, order of treatment, diagnosis, and their interaction as factors. Depression and anxiety scales were analyzed as independent measures.
    Results: The study enrolled 47 patients (mean [SD] age, 46.1 [11.2] years; [59.6%] male). Depression scores did not significantly change across assessments ( P > 0.1); there was no effect of order of treatment ( P > 0.1) or an interaction between time, order of treatment, and psychiatric diagnosis ( P > 0.1). Anxiety scores were similarly unchanged across treatment visits and order of treatment, and there was no interaction between time, order of treatment, and psychiatric diagnosis.
    Conclusions: Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation did not significantly alter residual symptoms in this group of patients.

    Abstract Objective: To investigate whether diagnostic agreement and concordance between non-psychiatric (medical and surgical) doctors and consultation-liaison psychiatry changes within junior doctors' terms.
    Method: This was a retrospective cohort analysis of referrals from medical and surgical units to a consultation-liaison psychiatry service. Diagnostic agreement was calculated across all diagnoses and expressed as a percentage. Diagnostic concordance (expressed using Cohen's Kappa) was calculated for the two most common diagnoses of depression and delirium. Diagnostic agreement and concordance in the first two weeks (Timepoint A) were compared to those in the last two weeks (Timepoint B) of junior doctors' terms.
    Results: Around half the referrals (Timepoint A = 48.1%, Timepoint B = 54.0%) were excluded as no diagnosis was listed.Diagnostic agreement over all diagnoses was 31.7% (Timepoint A) and 29.9% (Timepoint B) and was not statistically different. Diagnostic concordance for depression increased from fair to moderate but was not statistically significant. Diagnostic concordance for delirium was substantial for both timepoints and were not statistically different.
    Conclusions: No statistically significant change in diagnostic accuracy over a junior doctors' term was found in this study.

    Abstract Introduction: Agomelatine is an antidepressant with unique pharmacological actions; it is both a melatonin agonist and selective serotonin antagonist. Both actions combined are necessary for antidepressant efficacy. Effects on melatonin receptors enable resynchronisation of disrupted circadian rhythms with beneficial effects on sleep patterns. Areas covered: The issue of use of an antidepressant for depression co-morbid with somatic disorders is covered by the authors. A review of the literature from 2000 to August 2018 was undertaken using Scopus and Web of Science with the key words: agomelatine, depression, medical illness. Depression in Parkinson's disease, cardiovascular illness and type II diabetes is reviewed with evidence of efficacy. Bipolar depression and seasonal affective disorder may also react favourably. Agomelatine may have specific efficacy on symptoms of anhedonia. Expert opinion: Despite approval in some major jurisdictions, the drug has failed to gain registration in the United States. A defining issue may be questions about longer term efficacy: unequivocal effectiveness in placebo-controlled relapse prevention studies has not always been demonstrated. Continuation studies suggest maintenance of clinical responsiveness. A major disadvantage of the drug is its' potential hepatotoxicity and the need for repeated clinical laboratory tests.

    Abstract Alteration of nocturnal melatonin production, along with circadian rhythm disturbance, has been demonstrated in several psychiatric disorders. It has been postulated that such disturbances might be causal reflecting a more fundamental abnormality of the function of the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). The SCN contains the body's master 'clock' while the pineal-SCN nexus is intricate to the nighttime production of melatonin. The more compelling case for causality is made for major depressive disorder (MDD). Lending weight to this proposition is the introduction of agomelatine as an antidepressant agent. Through its actions on melatonin receptors agomelatine can resynchronise circadian rhythms. The circadian hypothesis would posit that normalisation of disturbance would be sufficient of itself to alleviate the symptoms of MDD. Thus, strategies designed to bring about resynchronisation of circadian rhythms should be therapeutically effective in depression. Critical examination of the efficacy of such interventions in MDD suggests that the circadian alteration may be necessary but is not sufficient for an antidepressant effect. Exogenous melatonin administration and bright light therapy have mixed results in limited controlled clinical evaluations. Furthermore, agomelatine has other actions which pre-clinical studies suggest are as important to its therapeutic effects as are its actions on melatonin receptors ipso facto its resynchronising properties. Whether circadian effects are antidepressant remains a moot point and awaits the clinical evaluation of highly selective resynchronising agents.
