ADAA member Dominique Apollon, M.Ed, LPC,CCATP participated in the HABRI Summit earlier this month in DC and shares her thoughts…
“We live in a world where we desire and enjoy interacting and connecting with others. Unfortunately, when we lack that connection, it can lead to an increase in loneliness and social isolation, which can have a significant impact on our overall well-being.
I had the pleasure of being an expert on a panel for the 1st Summit on Social Isolation and Companion Animals, where the Human Animal Bond Research Institute (HABRI), Mars Petcare and Waltham explored how companion animals can play an important role in addressing these issues. They discussed the benefits of human animal interaction in regard to individuals, especially older adults at risk for social isolation and loneliness. This is an important step towards a great cause and I am excited that I had the opportunity to be among such knowledgeable stakeholders. For more information on the summit, please visit their website."

Books for Bhutan are Arriving…
Dr. Karen Cassiday, ADAA Past President, is volunteering in Bhutan at the Jigme Dorji Wangchuck National Referral Hospital and in the Department of Psychiatry at the Khesar Gyalp University of Medical Sciences this June through September 2019. The national referral hospital and medical university are small and in need of psychiatry and behavioral health textbooks and self-help books. Many of you brought books to the ADAA 2019 Conference in Chicago in March. The books are now arriving in Bhutan (8 boxes in total have been shipped from Chicago) and are very much appreciated. Thank you again on behalf of Dr. Cassiday and ADAA for your donations.

For women living in low-income households, and for women of color generally, rates of maternal depression are twice as high as those of white women (25 percent vs. 12 percent). This disparity is due to such factors as fear and stigma of the health system and mental health at large, implicit bias in institutions, and a lack of understanding about what women of color need.

Mental health care is accounting for a growing number of private insurance claims, according to a new report out May 17. But experts caution that more than anything else, the new data underscores just how tricky it is to tease out what’s driving increases in mental health care use.

The U.S. is in the midst of a mental health crisis. In 2017, 47,000 Americans died by suicide and 70,000 from drug overdoses. 17.3 million adults suffered at least one major depressive episode. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, a landmark law passed more than a decade ago, requires insurers to provide comparable coverage for mental health and medical treatments. Even so, insurers are denying claims, limiting coverage, and finding other ways to avoid complying with the law.

Psoriasis is associated with a greater patient development risk for mental health disorders, according to findings from a nationally-based South Korea study that links two varied specialties of care.
A team of investigators from Seoul St. Mary’s Hospital in South Korea used population-based data including one million-plus patients over a decade to evidence a two-fold-plus greater risk of depressive episodes, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, neurotic disorders, and nonorganic sleep disorders in patients with psoriasis, versus patients without the condition.

School counselors help guide students with academics, college applications and social matters with other students. Increasingly, however, they are also helping students deal with mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression. School counselors, along with school social workers, may be children’s only access to some form of mental health care, since it’s estimated that only 20 percent of children with mental or behavioral disorders receive help from a mental health care provider.

You’ve seen it. You’re scrolling through Instagram and it’s one outdoor fantasy highlight after another. The picture-perfect remote landscape, shot from somewhere at a great height. It’s dusk or dawn, and there’s a woman: white, young, thin, tan, with effortlessly cascading hair, looking as though she was flown directly onto a peak or ledge and not at all like she just climbed an actual mountain. Or maybe the person is a man, also white, young, etc., standing on some precarious boulder protruding from a viewpoint. The caption is always some apolitical, inspirational message about good vibes and spreading positivity.
This has become the trope of outdoor social media, but whose life is actually like this?

Some Australian students are reportedly shunning Year 12 exams in favor of other, less stressful pathways to finishing school. These reports come amid warnings of rising rates of anxiety and depression among young people, with psychologists calling for better mental health support services in schools. Experts say exam stress could be making depression and anxiety worse for vulnerable young people.

The ability to influence knows no bounds — even when it comes to mental health.
Platforms such as Instagram, Twitter and YouTube are giving rise to a new phenomenon in which users treat their accounts like chat rooms for mental health, amassing tens of thousands of followers in the process. Influencers and brand owners alike have begun using their feeds to raise mental health awareness and even share their personal struggles. Their posts are a break from the #SponCon sweeping social. They are also, perhaps, a sign that a new kind of influencer is emerging: the mental health influencer.
