There’s no one-size-fits-all fix to treating insomnia, depression, anxiety, drug addiction, eating disorders, and other psychological problems. But there does seem to be a common starting place most psychologists and other therapists rely on: cognitive behavioral therapy.

Psychotherapy improves the lives of young people with depression as modestly as it did 13 years ago, according to a new report.
"This meta-analysis of youth depression psychotherapy RCTs, following up on a similarly structured meta-analysis published 13 years ago, with a substantial increase in the number of studies included, showed a strikingly similar pattern of findings, with a similarly modest level of treatment benefit," the authors write in the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, online April 17.

Suicide rates among people of all ages have been increasing since the turn of the century, but a new study points out to a particularly sharp spike in suicides among one group of people: teenage girls.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death among people ages 10 to 34. While boys die by suicide four times more often than girls, the study found that a bump in suicide rates among teens ages 18 and younger since 2011 was primarily driven by teen girls who attempted suicide by poisoning themselves.

According to some studies, almost one-third of people will experience a common mental disorder in their lifetime.
Due to the widespread influence of CMDs, scientists are keen to understand the full range of risk factors that feed into mental health.
In recent years, scientists have investigated whether living alone might be one such risk factor.
A new study, the results of which now appear in the journal PLOS ONE, takes a fresh look at this question. The study authors conclude that there is a link between living alone and CMDs. They also find that it affects all age groups and sexes, and that, primarily, loneliness is the driver.

Learning about all the ways that climate change is impacting the planet can feel overwhelming. No part of the world has been left untouched. And a lot of people have been — and will be — harmed by the effects of rising greenhouse gases. Many of those impacts will clearly hurt the physical health of people, such as by aggravating asthma or heart disease. But climate change can be bad for mental health as well, and children and teens are especially at risk, psychologists now report.

Adolescents in the United States are dealing with depression and anxiety in a big way, but the connection to obesity is yet to be directly established. Data collected by National Institute of Mental Health estimates that 3.2 million adolescents, representing 13.3 percent of the American population, suffered at least one major depressive episode in 2017.
Obese adolescents are also more prone to mental illnesess, researchers at the Karolinksa Institutet in Stockholm have found. The results of the study were shared recently at the European Congress on Obesity in Glasgow by lead researcher Louise Lindberg and her team.

“Not everybody wakes up happy,” a man sitting on his bed intones to start the new Burger King ad. “All I ask is that you let me feel my way.” Burger King’s latest promotion is called #FeelYourWay, which is a play on the company’s decades-old slogan “Have it your way.” “For years, brands have packaged a seething pessimism that is felt by today’s young adults and sold it to us to drive business,” Eater’s Chris Fuhrmeister wrote, reflecting on the year in food advertising in December. “They’ve played their part in ramping up the waves of depression and disillusionment that come as a result of prolonged exposure to bad vibes and bad news.”

A study out the week of April 29 suggests that the release of the first season of Netflix's 13 Reasons Why series in 2017 led to a small but notable uptick in teen suicides. The finding seems to confirm widespread apprehensions among mental health experts and advocates that a suicide "contagion" could spread from the teen drama, which centers around a 17-year-old girl's suicide and includes graphic details. But the study contains significant caveats, and the findings should be interpreted cautiously.
