The Midwest has been drenched by rain and beset by floods. California is bracing for wildfires after several years of record-breaking burns. Hurricane season is just getting into gear in the Atlantic Ocean, which has been hit by more storms than usual over the past three years, and those storms have been above-average in intensity. Heat waves have been increasing across the country for decades. Just last weekend, New Yorkers were being warned to use less air conditioning to prevent blackouts — and to charge their phones for when the blackouts would inevitably happen. Public health organizations and media talk a lot about the “new normal” — the idea that, as climate changes, disasters that were once rare events are increasingly common. That could also translate to a new normal for mental health. What does it mean for our emotions when summer is spent waiting for something bad to happen?

Anxiety is a common comorbidity among drug-naive individuals with first-episode major depressive disorder, according to cross-sectional study data published in the Journal of Affective Disorders. “[O]ur findings have important implications for clinical practice, because the understanding and treatment of anxious symptoms in early acute phase of MDD may lead to better outcomes,” the researchers concluded.

Although major depressive disorder is less common among African American men than white men, African American men with depressive symptoms often are misdiagnosed. What’s more, African American men face more chronic MDD and greater impairment from it. For example, African American men more often experience severe effects in their work life — 37.2 percent compared to 28.9 percent among whites — as well as in their relationships. And when African American men experience serious mental health challenges, they far too infrequently get the help they need; in fact, non-Hispanic African American men seek mental health services significantly less often than whites and African American women.

But loving someone with anxiety can be hard too. You might feel powerless to help or overwhelmed by how your partner's feelings affect your daily life.
If so, you're not alone: Multiple studies have shown that anxiety disorders may contribute to marital dissatisfaction.

People who have autism spectrum disorder have a lifetime rate of depression that is nearly four times greater than that of the general population. Depression in ASD is shown to greatly impact quality of life. This dual diagnosis is linked to an increased need for medication and caregivers with an increased risk for self-harm and suicide.

Researchers in North Carolina, Chicago and Toronto are collaborating on a large-scale study aimed at determining whether behavioral healthcare services delivered by telemedicine can help new mothers dealing with anxiety and depression.
The five-year study, funded by a $13.2 million grant from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, will also test whether a nurse can deliver these services with the same quality of care as a specialist.

It’s not easy for parents to decide to get help when their young kids appear to be struggling with their mental health. Parents often aren’t sure what emotions and behaviors are normal, and what are of concern.
“A lot of times families come in, and they’ve heard, 'Well this is just a phase, we heard they were going to grow out of it.' And so they just waited,” said Dr. Kendra Read, head of Anxiety Programs at Seattle Children’s Hospital.
