Researchers at Penn State and Jinan University discovered that excessive use of social media for COVID-19 health information is related to both depression and secondary trauma.

Over two years we follow the first ever medical trial of psilocybin (the psychoactive ingredient in magic mushrooms) being used to treat a group of volunteers suffering from clinical depression.

A new paper by anthropologists argues that disorders are responses to adversity.

Even before the COVID pandemic, many experts posited that loneliness was itself an American epidemic. Now, many fear the reduction in social contact may especially affect those populations most vulnerable to isolation and loneliness. Now, emerging research explores the manner in which the brain maps relationships with other people in relation to one’s self.

Self‐reported sleep patterns and quality amongst adolescents: cross‐sectional and prospective associations with anxiety and depression. A mere 30 minutes extra sleep a day can make all the difference to a teenager’s lifelong mental health and wellbeing.

Do antidepressants work? If so, which antidepressants are most effective? These two questions have been posed again and again over the last few decades, but the answer has remained elusive. The latest answer to the question of which antidepressants are most effective and well-tolerated comes from a 2018 paper. Published in The Lancet, the paper reported the results of the largest meta-analysis conducted to date on the acceptability and efficacy of 21 antidepressant treatments

Mood varies from hour-to-hour, day-to-day and healthy mood regulation involves choosing activities that help settle one’s mood. However, in situations where personal choices of activities are constrained, such as during periods of social isolation and lockdown, this natural mood regulation is impaired which might result in depression. New research, published today in JAMA Psychiatry, from the Department of Psychiatry, University of Oxford suggests a new target for treating and reducing depression is supporting natural mood regulation.

Massaging key parts of the brain with a pulsating magnetic field can do wonders for some living with chronic depression. For others, it falls well short of promising a life without a debilitating mood disorder.

Stanford Medicine researchers used high doses of magnetic stimulation, delivered on an accelerated timeline and targeted to individual neurocircuitry, to treat patients with severe depression.
