It takes a jostling herd, U.S. researchers said on Thursday. by Reuters 2 Sep 2010 at 2:30pm A study funded by Abbott Laboratories offered more detailed evidence that its weight-loss drug Meridia increases heart risks, prompting renewed calls by consumer advocates and others to pull the drug from the market. |
2 Sep 2010 at 7:00am The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, have been called the defining moment of our time. Thousands of people died and the attacks had huge individual and collective consequences. But less is known about the immediate emotional reactions to the attacks. For a new study, researchers analyzed text messages sent on September 11, 2001 for emotional words. They found spiking anxiety and steadily increasing anger through that fateful day. 1 Sep 2010 at 11:00pm Insomnia and other sleep disorders are very common, yet are not generally well understood by doctors and other health care professionals. Now the British Association for Psychopharmacology has released up-to-the-minute guidelines in the Journal of Psychopharmacology to guide psychiatrists and physicians caring for those with sleep problems. 26 Aug 2010 at 7:00am Clinical depression and anxiety during pregnancy results in smaller babies that are more likely to die in infancy, according to new research. The study, which focused on women living in rural Bangladesh, provides the first finding of its kind in a non-Western population. The research indicates that mental health issues are likely to be a primary contributor to infant mortality and poor child health, above poverty, malnutrition or low socio-economic status. 26 Aug 2010 at 1:00am Even after leaving a violent or controlling relationship, the mental health of mothers may actually get worse before it gets better, a new study suggests. Researchers found that in the two years after the end of an abusive relationship, mothers showed poorer mental health, became more depressed and maintained high levels of anxiety. In those areas, they were no better off than women who stayed in abusive relationships. 23 Aug 2010 at 10:00am Researchers have found that yoga may be superior to other forms of exercise in its positive effect on mood and anxiety. The findings are the first to demonstrate an association between yoga postures, increased GABA levels and decreased anxiety. 22 Aug 2010 at 7:00am Fear of falling is likely to lead to future falls among older people, irrespective of their actual fall risk, a new study finds. 19 Aug 2010 at 10:00am Psychological stress in middle age could lead to the development of dementia later in life, especially Alzheimer's disease, reveals research from Sweden. Based on data from a study which followed women for 35 years, this is the first research in Sweden to indicate a link between stress and dementia. 18 Aug 2010 at 4:00am Individuals with psoriasis appear to have an increased risk of depression, anxiety and suicidality, according to a new study. 13 Aug 2010 at 10:00am Severe mental illness is more common among college students than it was a decade ago, with more young people arriving on campus with pre-existing conditions and a willingness to seek help for emotional distress, according to a new study. The data support what college mental health professionals have noted for some time. 12 Aug 2010 at 10:00am A new study focused on anxiety and brain activity pinpoints the brain regions that are relevant to developing childhood anxiety. The findings may lead to new strategies for early detection and treatment of at-risk children. 10 Aug 2010 at 1:00pm One year after weight loss surgery with laparoscopic gastric banding, extremely obese adults demonstrate not only better physical health but also improved psychological health, a new study shows. 3 Aug 2010 at 10:00am Teens who use the Internet pathologically appear more likely to develop depression than those who do not, according to a new report. 27 Jul 2010 at 10:00pm Teens with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) -- the most common childhood psychiatric condition in the United States -- are less likely to finish high school on time than students with other mental-health disorders that often are considered more serious, a large national study has found. 19 Jul 2010 at 4:00pm People confronted with acute stress -- daily rocket attacks -- tend to dissociate from threats instead of becoming more vigilant, according to a new study. This research overturns accepted convention and may lead to better understanding of the mechanisms underlying acute stress reactions. 16 Jul 2010 at 1:00pm Two longitudinal studies examine the relationship of maternal PTSD and depression to the mental health and behavior of children who were affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The first study found that preschoolers of mothers who experienced PTSD and depression symptoms exhibited more clinically significant behavior problems. The second study found that direct exposure to 9/11 played a small but significant role in explaining the prevalence of the mothers' and adolescents' PTSD and depression rates. |
2 Sep 2010 at 7:00am Anxiety disorders afflict women twice as often as men, but estrogen might not be the reason. Testosterone, though, could be. That is one of the preliminary findings in the lab of Florida State University researcher Mohamed Kabbaj, associate professor in the College of Medicine. He recently was awarded a five-year, $1... 1 Sep 2010 at 5:00am With summer fading, anxiety is on the rise for some students anticipating the return of school. But it isn't just the first days of classes that can provoke angst -- anxiety in school is seasonal and age dependent, say pediatric psychiatrists. And, they add, these issues are often predictable and highly treatable... 31 Aug 2010 at 7:00am The notion that cutting or burning oneself could provide relief from emotional distress is difficult to understand for most people, but it is an experience reported commonly among people who compulsively hurt themselves. Individuals with borderline personality disorder experience intense emotions and often show a deficiency of emotion regulation skills... 31 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Exposure to stress in the womb could be more harmful to males after birth than females, researchers have found... 30 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Functioning much like gears in a machine, cellular motor proteins are critical to dynamic functions throughout the body, including muscle contraction, cell migration and cellular growth processes. Now, neuroscientists from UC Irvine and the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute report that motor proteins also play a critical role in the stabilization of long-term memories... 29 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Clinical depression and anxiety during pregnancy results in smaller babies that are more likely to die in infancy, according to new research published in the open access journal BMC Public Health. The study, which focused on women living in rural Bangladesh, provides the first finding of its kind in a non-Western population... 28 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Fear can make you run, it can make you fight, and it can glue you to the spot. Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Monterotondo, Italy and GlaxoSmithKline in Verona, Italy, have identified not only the part of the brain but the specific type of neurons that determine how mice react to a frightening stimulus... 26 Aug 2010 at 4:00am 15% of patients experience more pain, physical and emotional problems a year after surgery than before their operation and 24% have less vitality, according to a study of over 400 patients published online by the British Journal of Surgery. Twelve months after their operation 17% also reported greater pain, 14% said their functional abilities had reduced and 16% had poorer mental health... 25 Aug 2010 at 10:00am Women who feel stressed early on during their menstrual cycle are more likely to have more severe symptoms during and before menstruation, says a report conducted by researchers at the NIH (National Institutes of Health, USA) and other centers... 21 Aug 2010 at 3:00am While most parents think of back-to-school as an exciting time marked by new backpacks, school supplies and outfits, it can also mean stress and anxiety for many children... 21 Aug 2010 at 2:00am Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have found that yoga may be superior to other forms of exercise in its positive effect on mood and anxiety.

by Journal of Affective Disorders 1 Sep 2010 at 12:56am Conclusions: Given the beliefs of young people and professionals that prevention is possible, there is fertile ground for health promotion in this area. However, young people need to be aware that avoiding stressful situations may not be helpful for anxiety.

(Source: Journal of Affective Disorders) by Journal of Affective Disorders 1 Sep 2010 at 12:56am Conclusions: Emotional neglect seems to be differentially related to depression, dysthymia and social phobia. This knowledge may help to reduce underestimation of the impact of emotional abuse and lead to better recognition and treatment to prevent long-term disorders. (Source: Journal of Affective Disorders) by Psychological Bulletin 29 Aug 2010 at 5:00pm We performed a quantitative review of associations between the higher order personality traits in the Big Three and Big Five models (i.e., neuroticism, extraversion, disinhibition, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness) and specific depressive, anxiety, and substance use disorders (SUD) in adults. This approach resulted in 66 meta-analyses. The review included 175 studies published from 1980 to 2007, which yielded 851 effect sizes. For a given analysis, the number of studies ranged from three to 63 (total sample size ranged from 1,076 to 75,229). All diagnostic groups were high on neuroticism (mean Cohen's d = 1.65) and low on conscientiousness (mean d = â1.01). Many disorders also showed low extraversion, with the largest effect sizes for dysthymic disorder (d = â1.47) and so... by Rehabilitation Psychology 29 Aug 2010 at 5:00pm Conclusions: People with GAD receiving treatment for depression may benefit from additional services targeting anxiety more specifically, while those with comorbid fear disorders may benefit from services targeting maintenance of gains after treatment.

People who are socially anxious frequently freeze and are unable to seek the very company their hearts desire. They may make adaptations: they may decide that they âhateâ being around people; they may isolate and play video games; they may absorb themselves in their work, but no matter what they do, this anxiety always exists at baseline whether they are being social or not. The issue with social anxiety, as with most forms of anxiety, is that the anxieties and fears are not just conscious. âDealingâ with them through avoidance may get rid of the conscious fears but the unconscious fears still wreak havoc on the human brain. Beneath the surface, the brain is still â... by BioHealth Investor 23 Aug 2010 at 1:40pm Jazz Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ: JAZZ) is having an awful day, and frankly this is a situation that could have been even worse for holders considering the speculative phase that the company is in versus its existing portfolio. The FDA advisory committee voted against Jazzâs fibromyalgia candidate in a voted tallied at 20-2 against approval. The committee noted that risks outweigh the benefits. The FDA also asked it to review the risk evaluation mitigation strategy. We wanted to see what else Jazz has. Its Xyrem is on the market to treat excessive daytime sleepiness and cataplexy and Luvox CR to treat OCDs and social anxiety disorder. Xyrem is currently the major source of the firm’s revenues (about 80% on last count). The company’s pipeline has targets aimed at bipo... by Psych Central 23 Aug 2010 at 8:36am BRAVE: Be Ready and Victory’s Easy is a 96-page, large-print, softcover book is a quick and easy read geared toward helping children and parents find solutions for those who suffer from social anxiety. The story is more for younger people; Danny, a fifth grader, is its main character. Danny comes up with the typical excuses many of us might use to get out of some situation or event: a stomachache, headache, or some other form of pain. His classroom, friends’ homes, places he has never been and even his own home are presented as obstacles. Situations such as school assignments, public speaking, playground play and gym class trigger negative reactions in Danny, bringing out the need to find a way out. The book includes a class bully, Sam, who finds any way he can to tease or an... by Anxiety, Stress, and Coping 18 Aug 2010 at 7:06pm This study examined changes in anxiety, as well as predictors of these changes among 77, predominantly Caucasian (88%), male and female (52%) adolescents from Grades 6 to 8. Repeated measures analysis of variance was conducted to examine the predicted grade and gender differences. Multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the prediction of eighth grade anxiety symptoms by sixth grade self-worth, perceived social acceptance, and social support, as well as the potential moderating role of gender in these relations. Results suggested a significant decrease in anxiety, particularly social anxiety, over this period for boys but not girls. Examination of predictors of changes in anxiety suggested that, in general, global self-worth, social acceptance, and gender were each associated...

Sauter (Source: BioHealth Investor) by Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders 10 Aug 2010 at 5:00pm Authors: Dodd HF, Porter MA Williams syndrome (WS) is associated with an unusual profile of anxiety, characterised by increased rates of non-social anxiety but not social anxiety (Dodd and Porter, J Ment Health Res Intellect Disabil 2(2):89-109, 2009). The present research examines whether this profile of anxiety is associated with an interpretation bias for ambiguous physical, but not social, situations. Sixteen participants with WS, aged 13-34 years, and two groups of typically developing controls matched to the WS group on chronological age (CA) and mental age (MA), participated. Consistent with the profile of anxiety reported in WS, the WS group were significantly more likely to interpret an ambiguous physical situation as threatening than both control groups. However, no between-g... by Psychiatry Research 9 Aug 2010 at 8:03am This study used the Experience Sampling Method (ESM) â a structured diary technique â to examine social interaction in daily life of 8 adults with PDD, compared to 14 healthy controls. Multilevel linear regression analyses showed that PDD subjects a) did not spend more time alone, b) had no increased preference to be alone when in company, and c) spent more time with familiar people, compared to control subjects. Patients experienced more negative affect and anxiety when in the company of less familiar people compared to when they are alone, whereas no difference in affect could be found between being alone or being with familiar people. All these lines of evidence suggest that PDD subjects do have a desire to interact. However, this may be thwarted as is seen in social anxiety. Therap... by Journal of Affective Disorders 7 Aug 2010 at 12:20am Conclusions: Although women self-reported higher depression severity, more severe general psychopathological symptoms and lower health status, no differences in disease severity were found on interviewer ratings. These findings could have implications for clinical decision making and treatment.

27 Aug 2010 at 4:41pm Babies whose mothers are caring and attentive usually grow into well-adjusted children, but now experts say they may also be more likely than their peers to grow into emotionally-healthy adults. 23 Aug 2010 at 6:18pm A new study adds to previous research showing that parents have lower feelings of well-being when their grown children have problems. 17 Aug 2010 at 4:34pm A team of scientists from the University of Wisconsin-Madison has identified brain regions that play a role in the development of childhood anxiety. 9 Aug 2010 at 2:59pm Researchers at University of South Florida have found that teens who have more optimistic outlooks tend to be healthier. 21 Jul 2010 at 11:53am It's a popular notion that young children "bounce back" from exposure to disaster and trauma better than adults, but a new study has found that this is not the case. 21 Jul 2010 at 11:37am According to a new study of New York City preschoolers, children whose mother struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression after the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center were more likely to have behavioral problem than children whose mothers coped more easily with the attacks. 21 Jul 2010 at 11:10am A team of researchers from Yale University has found that the risk of a child of an alcoholic parent developing a psychiatric illness in later life depends, in part, on the child's gender and on which parent--mother or father--had the drinking problem. 21 Jul 2010 at 10:43am According to a new small study, the so-called "club drug" Ecstasy may make psychotherapy more effective for people who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). 14 Jul 2010 at 7:13pm Swedish researchers say the method a person uses to attempt suicide may help predict his or her chances of completing a suicide in the future. 14 Jul 2010 at 7:03pm Under the new rules, veterans of all wars are eligible to receive compensation if they can prove they served in a war zone in a role consistent with the events they say caused their condition. 14 Jul 2010 at 6:53pm Investigators say one reason depressed and anxious children are often overlooked for treatment is that they tend to keep to themselves and are rarely disruptive, which means teachers and other professionals may fail to notice their symptoms. 12 Jul 2010 at 11:37am Experts say that the road to recovery for children and teens with eating disorders, addictions, and mental illness is tougher--and less clear--than it is for adults with these issues. 7 Jul 2010 at 11:52am A study of more than 1,000 people in Holland has found that anxiety disorders appear to increase the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and death in people who have heart disease. 6 Jul 2010 at 12:04pm Cyberbullying includes aggressive, intentional, repeated acts using computers, mobile phones, or other electronic media against people who cannot easily defend themselves. 1 Jul 2010 at 10:54am New research has found that post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms such as jumpiness, irritability, sleep problems, and concentration issues are contributing to anger and hostility in U.S. soldiers returning from combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. |
