Study 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. While there is a growing body of research on mental health and the human microbiome, this is the first study to look at bacterial differences in the saliva of those with and without recent suicidal thoughts, also called suicidal ideation. Recent suicidal ...

Led by researchers at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, the investigation involved 93 men and women with alcohol dependence. They were randomly assigned to receive either two doses of psilocybin or an antihistamine placebo. Neither the researchers nor the study participants knew ... NYU Langone Health / NYU Grossman School of Medicine - 8/24/2022Low job control a risk factor for suicidal behaviorMen working in occupations featuring low demands and low control over their own work situation are at elevated risk for suicide attempts and suicide. In jobs with high demands and high control, the risk is lower. This is shown in a study from the University of Gothenburg. Men generally find it harder than women to seek help for mental ill-health, and suicide at working age is significantly more common in men. However, knowledge of how suicidal behavior is affected by workplace psychosocial ... University of Gothenburg - 8/24/2022Hepatitis C drugs may reduce PTSD symptomsMore than six percent of Americans will develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in their lifetime. This potentially chronic condition disrupts lives, and can lead to or exacerbate existing health issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and suicidal thoughts. Despite the high prevalence of PTSD, the US Food and Drug Administration has only approved two medications to treat this condition -- sertraline and paroxetine -- and both have shown only limited effectiveness in ... Boston University School of Public Health - 8/22/2022“Cheat Meals” linked to eating disorders in adolescents and young adultsA new study published in the Journal of Eating Disorders found that, in course of a year, over half of men, women, and transgender or gender non-conforming participants engaged in at least one “cheat meal” — the practice of deviating from one’s established dietary practices to consume “prohibited” calorie dense meals, only to return to previous dietary practices later. Among women, engagement in cheat meals in the previous 12 months was associated with all seven types of eating disorder ... University of Toronto - 8/16/2022Vitamin D supplementation seems to alleviate depressive symptoms in adultsAn extensive meta-analysis suggests that vitamin D supplementation may alleviate depressive symptoms in adults with depression. Conducted by an international team of researchers, the meta-analysis includes dozens of studies from around the world. Depressive symptoms cause a significant disease burden worldwide.

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). Smells were found to play an important role in delivering wellbeing benefits from interacting with nature, often with a strong link to people’s personal memories, and specific ecological characteristics and processes (e.g. fallen leaves rotting in the winter). Nature is known to play an integral role in ... University of Kent - 8/3/2022Regular enquiry about well-being vs. universal screening recommended to detect depression in pregnancy and after birthDepression in pregnant and postpartum people is a serious problem. Rather than using a screening tool with a cut-off score to detect depression in every pregnant and postpartum patient, clinicians should ask patients about their well-being as part of usual care, recommends a new guideline from the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) Canadian Medical Association Journal - 7/25/2022Dentists and dental hygienists on early front lines of COVID-19 report symptoms of anxiety, depression: First known U.S. study to examine mental health of dental professionals during pandemic, association between COVID-19 vaccine and mental healthThe first known U.S. study to evaluate the mental health of frontline dentists and dental hygienists during the pandemic found that dental health care workers report anxiety and depression symptoms during peaks of transmission among the public.

Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) - 7/20/2022No evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin levels, finds comprehensive reviewAfter decades of study, there remains no clear evidence that serotonin levels or serotonin activity are responsible for depression, according to a major review of prior research led by UCL scientists. The new umbrella review – an overview of existing meta-analyses and systematic reviews – published in Molecular Psychiatry, suggests that depression is not likely caused by a chemical imbalance, and calls into question what antidepressants do. Most antidepressants are selective serotonin ...

University of Reading - 7/19/2022Scientists pinpoint reason why women may not respond to depression treatments the same as menPrevious analyses within the nucleus accumbens showed that different genes were turned on or off in women, but not in men diagnosed with depression. These changes could have caused symptoms of depression, or alternatively, the experience of being depressed could have changed the brain -- a clue to why anti-depressants had not been successful for some women. University of California - Davis - 7/13/2022Friends enjoy being reached out to more than we think: The greater the surprise, the greater the appreciation, study saysPeople consistently underestimate how much others in their social circle might appreciate an unexpected phone call, text or email just to say hello, and the more surprising the connection, the greater the appreciation, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. "People are fundamentally social beings and enjoy connecting with others," said lead author Peggy Liu, PhD, of the University of Pittsburgh. "There is much research showing that maintaining ... American Psychological Association - 7/11/2022Online art viewing can improve well-being: Effects are similar to those of visits to physical art galleries or even nature experiencesViewing art while visiting galleries and museums can have powerful effects on an individual's mood, stress and well-being. But does the same hold true for viewing art in digital space? A new study investigated whether engaging with art online also has this effect. Their conclusion: a short three-minute visit to an online art or cultural exhibition also shows significant positive effects on subjective well-being. University of Vienna - 7/8/2022Depression in fathers and children linked, regardless of genetic relatednessAdolescent depression and behavior problems are on the rise and paternal depression may be contributing to this increase, regardless of whether the fathers and children are genetically related, according to new research from Penn State and Michigan State.

University of Zurich - 7/1/2022Study reveals the job problems contributing to physician suicide: Physical and mental health, substance use, relationships, legal matters and finances all contribute to physician suicide, UC San Diego study showsPhysician burnout and suicide are a growing public health concern, with 1 in 15 physicians experiencing suicidal ideation. Studies consistently show that physicians are more likely than non-physicians to experience work-related stressors prior to suicide. Still, the exact nature of these stressors was unknown. To better understand and characterize the job stressors that contribute to physician suicide, researchers at UC San Diego Health reviewed the death investigation narratives from 200 ... University of California - San Diego - 6/29/2022No more binge eating: Signal pathway in the brain that controls food intake discoveredResearchers have developed a novel approach to treating eating disorders. The scientists showed that a group of nerve cells in the hypothalamus (so-called AgRP, agouti-related peptide neurons) control the release of endogenous lysophospholipids, which in turn control the excitability of nerve cells in the cerebral cortex, which stimulates food intake. University of Cologne - 6/28/2022Study shows link between cyberbullying and suicidality in early adolescenceYoung adolescents who are targets of cyberbullying are more likely to report suicidal thoughts and attempts, an association that goes above and beyond the link between suicidality and traditional offline bullying, according to new research from the Lifespan Brain Institute (LiBI) of Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the University of Pennsylvania. The findings were published today in JAMA Network Open. “At a time when young adolescents are spending more time online ... Children's Hospital of Philadelphia - 6/27/2022Feelings of detachment predict worse mental health outcomes after trauma: Patients who experience this symptom may benefit from early interventionsResults from the largest prospective study of its kind indicate that for individuals who experience trauma, the presence of dissociation -- a profound feeling of detachment from one's sense of self or surroundings -- may indicate a high risk of later developing severe post-traumatic stress, depression, anxiety, physical pain, and social impairment. The research, which was led by investigators at McLean Hospital, is published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. McLean Hospital - 6/22/2022Losing a grandmother may trigger rise in depression for some of her survivors: The study found adolescent boys experienced a 50% increase in depressive symptomsLosing a beloved family member is never easy, but a new study suggests the loss of a grandmother in particular may have repercussions for the loved ones she leaves behind. The researchers found that for up to seven years after the death of their grandmother, adolescent boys had a 50% increase in depression symptoms compared to peers who were not grieving. Additionally, this loss also was associated with a higher chance of both adolescent boys' and girls' mothers also becoming depressed. Penn State - 6/15/2022Suicide rates didn't increase during pandemic, study findsMany people, including mental health experts, anticipated a dramatic increase in suicide rates following the outbreak of Covid-19. But in fact, this has not been the case and most of the research published in scientific journals points to either no change or a decrease in rates of suicide following the pandemic. This is according to a new international study on the impact of Covid-19 on rates of suicide and self-harm in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Led by Dr Duleeka Knipe from ...
