Depression is a big problem in women during and after pregnancy, but it's also a concern throughout the reproductive years. Now, new research reports that nearly 5 percent of women between the ages of 20 and 44 have struggled with major depression. And another 4 percent of women in that age group have experienced minor depression. But neither group is getting adequate care for the condition.

In 2015, more than a quarter of a million adolescents were current users of nonmedical prescribed opioids and more than 33,000 Americans died of an opioid overdose.

People with obsessive-compulsive disorder tend to fall back on maladaptive coping strategies such as rumination and thought suppression, according to new research; this even though adaptive coping skills such as acceptance and problem-solving could improve their quality of life. Unfortunately, many OCD patients tend to lack those adaptive coping skills while in the throes of the disorder, according to a new German study.

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) delivery systems differ from one another in design, action and results. One of them has recently been shown to be significantly better than sham treatment for bipolar depression. But don't go buy it yet. This approach may help in the short run, but its value as a maintenance treatment has yet to be established.

Many studies have shown ketamine to be a promising treatment for those suffering from severe depression, but figuring out how to safely administer the drug has been a challenge for researchers. One hopeful delivery method was a nasal spray device because of its ease-of-use and the fact that it is less invasive than other methods such as injection.

Do you find that food deeply affects your mood? Science is beginning to back up such gut feelings. The link between poor diet and mood disorders has been long known, but what has been less clear is the direction of causality.
