The pros and cons of telemental healthNew research led by the National Institute for Health & Care Research (NIHR) Mental Health Policy Research Unit (MHPRU) at King's College London and University College London (UCL), has shown that certain groups of people benefit from the freedom of choice that telemental health provides, but this is not true for all. The research, published today in the Interactive Journal of Medical Research, investigates which telemental health approaches work (or do not work) for whom, in ... King's College London - 9/29/2022Not pursuing your goals during the pandemic is good for your mental healthPeople who shelved their long-term goals during the pandemic were better able to avoid anxiety and depression, according to a new study. Researchers at the University of Waterloo aimed to investigate the relationship between what they call COVID-frozen goals – goals for which progress has been disrupted due to COVID-19 – and psychological well-being. “Typically, when we think about how to increase goal success and well-being, we focus on how to be more committed and ... University of Waterloo - 9/28/2022Life’s stresses can make people focus more on their romantic partner’s negative behaviorStressful life circumstances can affect how married couples interact, but can they affect how partners see each other? A person experiencing stress is more likely to notice their spouse’s negative behavior than positive, according to a new study published in Social Psychological and Personality Science. Prior research has focused on how stress influences behavior, but this study suggests that stress could affect what actions partners notice in the first place. The negative actions being ... Society for Personality and Social Psychology - 9/26/2022Anxiety during pregnancy can lead to earlier births, study finds: Results suggest doctors should screen for anxiety during first and third trimestersWomen who experience anxiety about their pregnancies give birth earlier on average than those who don’t, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. The study, which examined the relationship between pregnancy length and different measures of anxiety, could help doctors understand when and how best to screen for anxiety during pregnancy to help prevent preterm birth. “Anxiety about a current pregnancy is a potent psychosocial state that may affect ... American Psychological Association - 9/26/2022New study identifies cortisol level as indicator of addiction recovery successA new study by researchers at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine found that lower initial cortisol levels may serve as a predictor for retention in treatment programs for substance use disorder. The prospective observational study examined the salivary cortisol, stress exposure, adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and treatment retention of males enrolled in abstinence-based, residential alcohol and drug recovery programs. Their findings were published last ... Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine - 9/23/2022Motherhood at work: Exploring maternal mental health: Postpartum is affecting mental health at work. What can companies do about it?Up to 1 in 5 women in the postpartum period will experience a mental health disorder like postpartum depression or generalized anxiety disorder. How an organization handles a mother's return to work can have a significant impact on her mental health, according to new research from the University of Georgia. Organizations control the majority of work-related factors that predict better mental health outcomes. This can include access to paid maternity leave, total workload, and ... University of Georgia - 9/22/2022A new understanding of the neurobiology of impulsivity: Novel genetically based impulsivity score may help identify children who are especially vulnerableWhile not all impulsive behaviour speaks of mental illness, a wide range of mental health disorders which often emerge in adolescence, including depression and substance abuse, have been linked to impulsivity. So, finding a way to identify and treat those who may be particularly vulnerable to impulsivity early in life is especially important. A group of researchers, led by scholars at McGill University, have developed a genetically based score which could help identify, with a high degree of ... McGill University - 9/22/2022Newly discovered protein connected to Alzheimer’s disease risk: A mutation in the small protein is associated with Alzheimer’s risk and highlights a possible target for treatmentA mutation in a newly discovered small protein is connected to a significant increase in the risk for Alzheimer’s disease, expanding the known gene targets for the disease and presenting a new potential avenue for treatment, according to a new USC study. The protein, called SHMOOSE, is a tiny “microprotein” encoded by a newly discovered gene within the cell’s energy-producing mitochondria. A mutation within this gene partially inactivates the SHMOOSE microprotein and is associated with ... University of Southern California - 9/20/2022Nearly one in 10 in the US reports having depression: Prevalence is particularly high among adolescents and young adultsIncreases in depression without commensurate increases in treatment are widespread, reports a study conducted at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and City University of New York. In 2020, past 12‒month depression was prevalent among nearly 1 in 10 Americans and almost 1 in 5 adolescents and young adults. The embargoed findings will be published online in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. Data were drawn from the 2015−2020 National Survey ... Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health - 9/19/2022Educators need mental health support following hurricanes, research findsAfter Hurricanes Harvey and Matthew hit Texas and North Carolina, it was the custodians who removed debris and damaged supplies from the athletic fields. It was the principals who stayed in the building for 24 hours while their schools operated as shelters. It was the teachers who ran to the local pharmacy to retrieve students' lifesaving medicine while communication was limited. When hurricanes strike, educators turn into first responders for their communities and students ... University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill - 9/19/2022Adult ADHD linked to elevated risk of cardiovascular diseasesAdults with ADHD are at greater risk of developing a range of cardiovascular diseases than those without the condition, according to a large observational study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet and Örebro University in Sweden. The researchers say the findings, published in the journal World Psychiatry, underscore the need to monitor cardiovascular health in people with ADHD. Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental ... Karolinska Institutet - 9/15/2022Mild traumatic brain injury increases risk of behavioral and emotional problems in kidsUniversity of Rochester researchers have been at the forefront of efforts to understand how blows to the head impact the brain, including how concussions change brain structure . Now researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience have found that kids who experience a traumatic brain injury (TBI), even a mild one, have more emotional and behavioral problems than kids who do not. University of Rochester Medical Center - 9/13/2022Daytime eating may benefit mental health: A study on meal timing found that eating at night increased depression and anxiety-related mood levels among participantsInvestigators have designed a study that simulated night work and then tested the effects of daytime and nighttime eating versus daytime eating only. The team found that, among participants in the daytime and nighttime eating group, depression-like mood levels increased by 26 percent and anxiety-like mood levels by 16 percent. Participants in the daytime-only eating group did not experience this increase, suggesting that meal timing may influence mood vulnerability. Brigham and Women's Hospital - 9/12/2022Pregnant women with obesity and diabetes may be more likely to have a child with ADHD: Study only finds this association in women with excessive weight gain during pregnancyChildren of women with gestational diabetes and obesity may be twice as likely to develop attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) compared to those whose mothers did not have obesity, according to new research published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. The estimated number of children aged 3-17 years ever diagnosed with ADHD is 6 million, according to data from 2016-2019. A major risk factor for ADHD in children is maternal obesity. The Endocrine Society - 9/8/2022Mothers' stress rollercoaster while pregnant linked to negative emotions in babiesPregnant people who had bigger fluctuations in stress from one moment to the next -- also called lability -- had infants with more fear, sadness and distress at three months old than mothers with less stress variability, reports a new Northwestern University study that examined how a child's developmental trajectory begins even before birth. Prior research has found that mothers' distress during pregnancy has been related to infant temperament and behavior, but this is one of ... Northwestern University - 9/7/2022Eating behaviors of parents play a role in teens' emotional eatingEmotional eating, or eating as a coping mechanism for negative, positive, or stress-driven emotions, is associated with unhealthy dietary patterns and weight gain. A research article featured in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, published by Elsevier, discusses adolescent vulnerability to emotional eating and how various feeding practices used by parents, such as restriction, food as reward, and child involvement, influence eating behavior. "Emotional eating was previously ... Elsevier - 9/7/2022Psychological distress before COVID-19 infection increases risk of long COVIDPsychological distress, including depression, anxiety, worry, perceived stress, and loneliness, before COVID-19 infection was associated with an increased risk of long COVID, according to researchers at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The increased risk was independent of smoking, asthma, and other health behaviors or physical health conditions. "We were surprised by how strongly psychological distress before a COVID-19 infection was associated with an increased ... Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health - 9/7/2022Replacing social media use with physical activity can do a lot to improve your mental health, according to a new studyIf you spend 30 minutes less on social media every day and engage in physical activity instead, you do a lot to improve your mental health. This is shown in a study conducted by a team from the Mental Health Research and Treatment Center at Ruhr-Universität Bochum headed by assistant professor Dr. Julia Brailovskaia. Participants who followed this advice for two weeks felt happier, more satisfied, less stressed by the Covid-19 pandemic and less depressed than a control group. Ruhr-University Bochum - 9/7/2022Robots can be better at detecting mental wellbeing issues in children than parent-reported or self-reported testing, a new study suggestsA team of roboticists, computer scientists and psychiatrists from the University of Cambridge carried out a study with 28 children between the ages of eight and 13, and had a child-sized humanoid robot administer a series of standard psychological questionnaires to assess the mental wellbeing of each participant. The children were willing to confide in the robot, in some cases sharing information with the robot that they had not yet shared via the standard assessment method of … University of Cambridge - 9/1/2022Increased use of telehealth for opioid use disorder services during COVID-19 pandemic associated with reduced risk of overdose: Study findings support value of expanding use of telehealth services for opioid use disorder-related careThe expansion of telehealth services during the COVID-19 pandemic was associated with individuals staying in treatment longer and reducing their risk of medically treated overdose, according to a new study.

NIH/National Institute on Drug Abuse - 8/31/2022Feeling anxious or blue? Ultra-processed foods may be to blame: Researchers find U.S. adults who consume more ultra-processed food report more adverse mental symptomsDo you love those sugary-sweet beverages, reconstituted meat products and packaged snacks? You may want to reconsider based on a new study that explored whether individuals who consume higher amounts of ultra-processed food have more adverse mental health symptoms. Although ultra-processed foods are convenient, low cost, quick to prepare or ready-to-eat, these industrial formulations of processed food substances (oils, fats, sugars, starch, protein isolates) contain little or no ... Florida Atlantic University - 8/25/2022Family and social support may influence caregiver stress and depressionA new study from Weill Cornell Medicine investigators shows that cultural values and social support may influence a caregiver’s burden, self-efficacy and depressive symptoms. These findings suggest interventions aimed at buffering the negative effects of care-related stress should reinforce the importance of social connections. In a study reported in the July 2022 issue of the Journals of Gerontology: Series B, a team led by first author Dr. Francesca Falzarano, a postdoctoral fellow, ... Weill Cornell Medicine - 8/25/2022Study uncovers differences in saliva bacteria of students with recent suicidal thoughtsA new University of Florida study has found that bacteria in the saliva of college students who reported recent thoughts of suicide differed in significant ways from those found in students who had not experienced recent suicidal thinking.

University of Eastern Finland - 8/12/2022Behavior problems and excessive use of gadgets - cause or effect? It's not the mobile that makes children hyperactive, but the other way roundIt's not the mobile that makes children hyperactive, but the other way round: a fidgety child will use a mobile phone more - according to the latest research from the Alpha Generation Lab at the Department of Ethology at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE). Several studies suggest that early and excessive TV viewing can lead to later attention problems and hyperactivity. The reverse is also true: fidgety, restless children are more likely to use digital devices, and parents are also more ... Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE), Faculty of Science - 8/10/2022Targeting impulsivity early in adolescence could prevent later behavioral disorders: Study supports early intervention to halt cascading chainTendencies toward impulsivity in early adolescence are linked with a variety of poor outcomes in later adolescence, including antisocial personality disorder and alcohol use disorder. However, by the time teenagers reach mid-adolescence, it may be too late to target impulsivity to prevent the development of these behavioral disorders. Past research has shown the link between impulsivity and these disorders, but not how it unfolds. Now, a new study based on data tracking ... Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania - 8/9/2022After breakups, people feel less in-control – but only at first: Study analyzed changes in sense of control after separation, divorce and death of a partnerA new analysis of people who underwent different types of relationship loss found that these experiences were linked with different patterns of short- and long-term sense of control following the loss. Previous research has shown that a greater perceived sense of personal control over one’s life is associated with better well-being and better health. Romantic relationships are closely linked to perceived control; for instance, evidence suggests a link between perceived control and ... PLOS - 8/3/2022Smells experienced in nature evoke positive wellbeing: Smells experienced in nature can make us feel relaxed, joyful, and healthy, according to new researchSmells experienced in nature can make us feel relaxed, joyful, and healthy, according to new research led by the University of Kent’s Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE).
