23 Feb 2010 at 10:49pm HealthDay - TUESDAY, Feb. 23 (HealthDay News) -- People suffering from anxiety can find some relief through regular exercise, University of Georgia researchers report. 22 Feb 2010 at 3:35pm Reuters - Does heart disease or another chronic illness have you anxiety-ridden? Starting an exercise program may help calm your nerves, according to a review of published studies. 18 Feb 2010 at 10:49pm HealthDay - THURSDAY, Feb. 18 (HealthDay News) -- For those with the common mental illness known as generalized anxiety disorder, a new study has found that the brain processes emotions in abnormal ways. 11 Feb 2010 at 3:06pm Reuters - Valium-like drugs use the same potentially addictive "reward pathways" in the brain as heroin and cannabis, scientists said on Wednesday, findings which may help in the search for non-addictive alternative anxiety drugs. 8 Feb 2010 at 10:49pm HealthDay - MONDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- Financial pressure puts low- and medium-income women at particularly high risk for anxiety and depression after being diagnosed with the noninvasive breast cancer ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), a U.S. study has found. |
8 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm A randomized trial shows three months after 10 massages, patients' anxiety symptoms were halved -- an improvement like that previously reported with psychotherapy, medications, or both. But the trial also found massage no more effective than simple relaxation. 8 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm A new questionnaire and outcomes measurement scale has proven to be a reliable and valid measure of anxiety. The scale can easily be incorporated into routine clinical practice when treating psychiatric disorders. 7 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm A new mental health outreach program set up after the 2005 London bombings has successfully identified and treated hundreds of survivors. 7 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm A one-page, 27-item questionnaire that is available free online is a valid and effective tool to help primary care doctors screen patients for four common psychiatric illnesses, a new study concludes. 6 Mar 2010 at 4:00am The next advance in treating major depression may relate to a group of brain chemicals that are involved in virtually all our brain activity, according to a new study. This study shows that compared to healthy individuals, people who have major depressive disorder have altered functions of the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). 1 Mar 2010 at 11:00pm A study examining the effects of institutional discrimination on the psychiatric health of lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) individuals found an increase in psychiatric disorders among the LGB population living in states that instituted bans on same-sex marriage. 28 Feb 2010 at 4:00pm The anxiety that often accompanies a chronic illness can chip away at quality of life and make patients less likely to follow their treatment plan. But regular exercise can significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety, a new study shows. 26 Feb 2010 at 10:00am New research using magnetic resonance imaging shows that childhood stress such as abuse or emotional neglect, in particular when combined with genetic factors, can result in structural brain changes, rendering these people more vulnerable to developing depression. 25 Feb 2010 at 7:00pm The 1994 genocide in Rwanda resulted in the mass killing of up to one million people over the course of about 100 days. There can be no doubt or surprise then that some of the survivors developed posttraumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, an anxiety disorder that can develop after witnessing or experiencing a traumatizing event, such as abuse, war, or natural disaster. However, even under stress as extreme as genocide, not all individuals develop PTSD. Why is it that some do and some don't? 24 Feb 2010 at 7:00am Depression raises stress hormone levels in adolescent boys and girls but may lead to obesity only in girls, according to researchers. Early treatment of depression could help reduce stress and control obesity -- a major health issue. 20 Feb 2010 at 4:00am More than half of low-income urban mothers met the criteria for a diagnosis of depression at some point between two weeks and 14 months after giving birth, according to a new study. 11 Feb 2010 at 10:00pm Children and adolescents with severe dental fear often come from families with a turbulent background. It is also more common that they have had counseling contact with a psychologist. 10 Feb 2010 at 4:00pm People with generalized anxiety disorder, or GAD, have abnormalities in the way their brain unconsciously controls emotions. That's the conclusion of a new study, and the authors say the findings could open up new avenues for treatments and change our understanding of how emotion is regulated in everyday life. 9 Feb 2010 at 7:00am People with anxiety and depression are most likely to use a shade of gray to represent their mental state. Researchers describe the development of a color chart, the Manchester Color Wheel, which can be used to study people's preferred pigment in relation to their state of mind. 7 Feb 2010 at 11:00pm Women with medium or low levels of income are more susceptible to anxiety and depression after ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosis. |
10 Mar 2010 at 6:00am A new questionnaire and outcomes measurement scale developed by the department of psychiatry at Rhode Island Hospital has proven to be a reliable and valid measure of anxiety.

Researchers writing in BioMed Central's open access journal Head & Face Medicine studied the causes of 'sleep bruxism', gnashing teeth during the night, finding that it was especially common in those who try to cope with stress by escaping from difficult situations... 5 Mar 2010 at 6:00am Many people feel insecure when they drive in tunnels. However, their anxiety can be reduced. "Driving in tunnels is actually twice as safe as driving in the open air, when all factors are taken into account," says SINTEF scientist Gunnar Jensen. However, a rough estimate suggests that as many as 10 - 20 percent of the population feel uncomfortable or very uncomfortable driving in tunnels... 4 Mar 2010 at 6:00am This study shows that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is effective in dealing with patients suffering from lupus and high levels of daily stress as it significantly reduces the incidence of psychological disorders associated with lupus and improves and maintains patients' QOL, despite there being no significant reduction in the disease activity index... 4 Mar 2010 at 2:00am People who have drunk a moderate amount of alcohol before a traumatic event report more flashbacks than those who have had no alcohol, according to new research at UCL (University College London). The results may give new insight into why some individuals develop post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after a traumatic event and others do not... 3 Mar 2010 at 6:00am President Barack Obama's recent physical examination revealed that he is in generally good health and that he is still trying to quit smoking.

by Depression and Anxiety 8 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm Conclusion: Anxiety disorders, especially panic disorder and PTSD, are independently associated with suicide attempts. Clinicians need to assess suicidal behavior among patients presenting with anxiety problems. Depression and Anxiety 0:1-8, 2010. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc. (Source: Depression and Anxiety) MedWorm Message: Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm Swine Flu RSS news feed - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources. by Canadian Psychology 7 Mar 2010 at 10:00pm A comprehensive evolutionary personality psychology can be developed by identifying individual differences within each of the evolved systems that regulate social behaviour. We developed a questionnaire measure of social rank style, defined as individual differences in preferred strategies for pursuing, defending, and, when necessary, relinquishing social rank. The 17-item Rank Style with Peers Questionnaire (RSPQ) comprises three nearly independent scales: dominant leadership, coalition-building, and ruthless self-advancement. A series of studies demonstrated that: (a) the RSPQ’s, factor structure is robust; (b) the three rank style variables are not redundant with the five-factor traits or adult attachment styles; (c) they are related in theoretically expected ways to adjustment outcom... by Turkish Journal of Psychiatry 6 Mar 2010 at 10:14am CONCLUSION: Consistent with the literature of school based Cognitive-Behavioral Group Treatment (CBGT) programs for social anxiety, it was found that adolescents in the treatment group exhibited a significant decrease in social anxiety and related cognitive errors. PMID: 20204902 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Turkish Journal of Psychiatry) by Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology 6 Mar 2010 at 8:12am (Source: Journal of Clinical Child & Adolescent Psychology) by New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development 3 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm Social anxiety disorder (SAD) is a common disorder that can lead to significant impairment. In this chapter, the author provides background on the disorder and reviews hypothesized familial and temperamental risk factors. In particular, it highlights the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Longitudinal Study of Children at Risk for Anxiety, now in its fifteenth year, and describes how this study has identified some factors that contribute to risk for SAD. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Source: New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development) by New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development 3 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm This chapter contains (1) an analysis of commonalities and differences in anxious solitude and social anxiety disorder, and a review of empirical investigations examining (2) correspondence among childhood anxious solitude and anxiety and mood diagnoses and (3) the relation between peer difficulties and temporal stability of anxious solitude and depressive symptoms. Findings support a diathesis-stress model in which anxious solitude forecasts symptoms of psychopathology primarily in the context of interpersonal stress. Additionally, evidence for individual and environmental factors which moderate risk for peer difficulties among anxious solitary children is reviewed. Implications for intervention are discussed. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Source: New Directions for Child and Adolescent Dev... MedWorm Message: Get the very latest Swine Flu news via the MedWorm Swine Flu RSS news feed - updated hourly from thousands of authoritative health and news sources. by New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development 3 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm In this chapter, the authors review the history of the Waterloo Longitudinal Project (WLP), the first longitudinal study (1980-1992) dedicated to the study of social withdrawal, its correlates, and consequences. Theories underlying the WLP are described, as are its empirical findings. Recent research from other labs that has extended the findings of the original WLP is briefly described. The authors' research that draws on the findings of WLP are noted as well. An underlying theme in this work is that relationships (and interactions) with parents and friends can serve as protective or exacerbating factors in the developmental course of social withdrawal and its concomitants (including social anxiety). © Wiley Periodicals, Inc. (Source: New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development) by Psychology Today Personality Center 3 Mar 2010 at 12:31pm Monthly magazines from Reader's Digest to Cosmopolitan are inundated with tips on how to sleep better, find happiness, and weave seriously sexy hair. Taking nothing away from being happy and blowing your romantic partner's mind on valentine's day, there are few things as valuable as staying alive.Sometimes we fail to take life and death seriously. Think back to those painful days of calculus class in high school. Like the sounds of a banshee ripping out its entrails, you and your classmates probably screamed the same screams heard year after year - "I'm so bored, I could die!" And yet, did your calculus teacher care? Did they offer a hug or show the slightest empathy? Probably not. And what about the desperate pleas of innocent children on long, monotonous car rides. All children want is a... by NeLM - Mental Health 2 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm Source: Arch Gen Psychiatry Area: News The results of a randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled trial have found that a combination of phenelzine and cognitive behavioural group therapy (CBGT) is superior to either treatment alone and to placebo for social anxiety disorder (SAD). To investigate, researchers from two US academic centres randomised 128 adults with a primary DSM-IV diagnosis of SAD to CBGT (n=34), phenelzine sulphate (15-60mg/day; n=35), placebo (n=27), or combined CBGT plus phenelzine (15-60mg/day; n=32). The CBGT sessions took place weekly and were administered by two therapists in twelve 2.5-hour sessions to groups of 4 to 6 participants. The primary outcome measures were Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale and Clinical Global Impression (CGI) scale s... by Eating Behaviors 2 Mar 2010 at 1:22pm Authors: Wonderlich-Tierney AL, Vander Wal JS The current study examined the hypotheses that social support and coping moderate and or mediate the relationship between a broad and a narrow form of social anxiety and eating disorder symptoms. One hundred sixty-nine female undergraduates at a private Midwestern university, completed measures of social support, coping, social anxiety, fear of negative evaluation, and disordered eating attitudes and behaviors. Results of hierarchical multiple regression analyses indicated that higher levels of social support are associated with a weaker association between social anxiety and eating disorder symptomatology. Low use of task- and avoidant-oriented (distraction) coping and increased use of emotion-oriented coping are associated with a stronger... by Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 1 Mar 2010 at 5:00pm This study aims to examine social skills through self-reports of children with AS (N = 21) and a matched group of typically developing peers, as well as reports from their mothers, fathers, and teachers. Results showed that children with AS had more social skills deficits according to all raters and that they reported more aggressiveness/antisocial behavior, more conceit/haughtiness, more loneliness/social anxiety, and less assertiveness than controls. The level of agreement between raters varied significantly, suggesting that social skills are best studied with multiple informants.

The identification and treatment of a range of psychiatric disorders are important for optimal adaptation after traumatic injury. (Source: Am J Psychiatry) by Archives of General Psychiatry 1 Mar 2010 at 1:50pm Conclusion Combined phenelzine and CBGT treatment is superior to either treatment alone and to placebo on dimensional measures and on rates of response and remission. (Source: Archives of General Psychiatry) by Psychology of Aesthetics, Creativity and the Arts 28 Feb 2010 at 10:00pm The link, if any, between creativity and mental illness is one of the most controversial topics in modern creativity research. The present research assessed the relationships between anxiety and depression symptom dimensions and several facets of creativity: divergent thinking, creative self-concepts, everyday creative behaviors, and creative accomplishments. Latent variable models estimated effect sizes and their confidence intervals. Overall, measures of anxiety, depression, and social anxiety predicted little variance in creativity. Few models explained more than 3% of the variance, and the effect sizes were small and inconsistent in direction.
