Morgan Hubbard was depressed, suffering from social anxiety and being bullied by her peers when she attempted suicide for the second time two years ago. "It kind of got the best of me," she said. She's not alone.

Despite the rich history of group treatments for PTSD,
there is a surprising lack of methodologically rigorous
studies in this domain. We know that at one point,
"rap groups" were seen to be the treatment of choice
for Vietnam veterans and support
groups still play a significant role in many agencies
that serve trauma survivors, including Department of
Veterans Affairs settings.

A part of the brain that responds to bad experiences acts in an unexpected way in people with depression, a small study finds. One theory suggested that the pea-sized structure called the habenula was overactive in people with depression, so researchers decided to test that hypothesis. The study was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

A new study published in the journal Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica is sure to add more fuel to a debate among mental health professionals that's been smoldering for decades — one concerning the true origin of multiple personalities.

Women are nearly twice as likely to experience anxiety as men, a global review reveals. Its authors from Cambridge University say that as well as women, young people under 35 and those with health problems are particularly affected. They estimate that four in every 100 people have anxiety. The review of 48 published pieces of work says more research is needed to find out which other communities are at high risk.

Dr. Perri Klaus writes: When girls come in for their physical exams, one of the questions I routinely ask is, "Do you get your period?" I try to ask before I expect the answer to be yes, so that if a girl doesn't seem to know about the changes of puberty that lie ahead, I can encourage her to talk about them with her mother, and offer to help answer questions.

Bipolar disorder is characterized by episodes of mania and depression that may alternate throughout life and usually first occur in the early 20s. More recently, physicians have started to group patients as early or late-stage. Early-stage BD patients are classified as those who have had fewer episodes of either mania or depression whereas late-stage patients have had more episodes with more severe effects and are less likely to respond to treatment.

Psilocin — the psychoactive metabolite of psilocybin, an ingredient of so-called "magic mushrooms" — significantly reduces depressive symptoms for up to three months after treatment in individuals diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression, according to a new study published in Lancet Psychiatry.

Antidepressants didn't get to be the third-most commonly prescribed medication in the United States for nothing. In fact, says a new study, the medications taken by more than 10 percent of American adults may be so ubiquitous because they are used to do so much. Depression medication, a new study suggests, has become a "do something" drug for primary care physicians to offer when a patient's complaints may only be vaguely related to depression.

Identifying effective treatments for combat veterans battling post-traumatic stress disorder is a top priority for researchers and clinicians. A variety of talk therapies and medications are available that provide relief to many. However, recognizing the limitations with traditional treatments for PTSD, interest in alternative therapies is growing. And more importantly, so far, the evidence is promising.

Suicide attempts in the military aren't necessarily combat-driven. At the height of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Army soldiers most likely to try to kill themselves were never deployed, new research shows. Moreover, risk was greatest just two months into service, according to the study of more than 163,000 soldiers, published in JAMA Psychiatry..
