England is in the midst of a unique national experiment, the world's most ambitious effort to treat depression, anxiety and other common mental illnesses.
The rapidly growing initiative, which has gotten little publicity outside the country, offers virtually open-ended talk therapy free of charge at clinics throughout the country: in remote farming villages, industrial suburbs, isolated immigrant communities and high-end enclaves. The goal is to eventually create a system of primary care for mental health not just for England but for all of Britain.

Cumulative post-traumatic stress disorder is more common than one would think, particularly among first responders like police officers. Sometimes called "complex PTSD," it's hard to detect because it builds up subtly and insidiously, and can be harder to treat than critical incident trauma.
"Critical incident trauma" is the shock on the mind of a single incident that threatens the life and/or emotional safety of the individual, such as a shooting or watching helplessly as a person burns to death in a car. Cumulative trauma, on the other hand, is a series of events, often spread over the years, which build up — examples can include a history of screams and violent accidents, dealing with dead and mutilated bodies, desperate fights and suicides.

Ten years ago, it was not entirely clear whether an employee suffering from a mental health disorder was considered to have a "disability," as defined under the Americans with Disabilities Act. In fact, there were a number of decisions from federal courts around the country during this time period holding that medically diagnosed mental conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder were not considered "disabilities" under the ADA. However, with the passage of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 — an act that Congress expressly stated should be interpreted as broadly as possible to expand coverage to employees with disabilities — many mental illnesses undoubtedly now fall within the definition.

Just a few miles from where President Trump will address his blue-collar base, exactly the kind of middle-class factory jobs he has vowed to bring back from overseas are going begging.
It's not that local workers lack the skills for these positions, many of which do not even require a high school diploma but pay $15 to $25 an hour and offer full benefits. Rather, the problem is that too many applicants — nearly half, in some cases — fail a drug test.

A new study for the first time has described how SSRIs initiate their action by targeting a particular type of nerve cell. The findings, published recently in the journal Neuron, may provide a path to new antidepressants that would not only be safer to use than existing ones, but that would also act more quickly.
For the past 30 years, pills like Prozac or Zoloft — collectively known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs — have offered millions of people a way to shed the heavy cloak of depression.

Researchers have developed a web tool designed to retrain the brain to think of positive outcomes to various scenarios.
The software aims to reduce the anxiety and depression that affects millions of people's lives. Investigators note that in some cases, the mental disorders lead to isolation, poverty and poor physical health, things that often cascade to impact future generations.
