Why is serious mental illness in young adults missed so often?
TakePart
Most serious mental illnesses — seriously debilitating conditions like schizophrenia and psychosis — start when people are in their teens or as young adults. If they're caught and treated very early, the severity of the illness can often be curbed. That's why it's painful to hear that a wide range of people — doctors, parents, teachers and the victims themselves — so often miss the early signs of mental illness during these young years, thus failing to get them prompt medical treatment and leading to much worse financial and social costs as the illness goes untreated.

Los Angeles Times
In a drive to cut costs and improve efficiency, companies are employing an ever-increasing array of tracking and monitoring technology to see what their employees are doing at all times.

Stanford philosopher seeks to create more just and fair workplace for caregivers
Stanford News
While federal programs like the Family and Medical Leave Act and the National Family Caregiver Support Program mitigate some of the physical and financial tolls of caregiving, Stanford philosopher Sara Mrsny says that current policies leave the majority of caregivers in an unfair position. Mrsny is pursuing a philosophical investigation of the topic by examining research from the social sciences and other disciplines to make a case for why additional laws are needed that support caregivers and accommodate them in workplaces.
