Sure, you've heard of anorexia, OCD, depression, and anxiety, but what about trichotillomania? Believe it or not, it's more common than anorexia and affects approximately 2 to 5 percent of the population. Trichotillomania, hair pulling disorder, is a body-focused repetitive behavior in which a person is compelled to pull out hair from anywhere on their body, often resulting in noticeable bald patches.

Alix Tunell writes: There are very few things I feel shame about and keep under wraps — just ask anyone who's had a couple glasses of wine in my company. But my 13-year struggle to get my dermatillomania — a compulsive skin-picking disorder I've been diagnosed with — under control is one. Physically, skin-picking is an ugly habit.

After years of consideration, the Food and Drug Administration has determined that for carefully selected patients with profound depression, the benefits of electroconvulsive therapy, long demonized, outweigh the risks of possible memory loss caused by its use. Citing evidence from 60 randomized trials of ECT, the FDA acknowledged the risk but said that there is now enough evidence to ease access to the therapy for certain people.

 Depression in high school is becoming more common these days. According to a new report, 2.7 million teenagers in America suffered from depression between 2013 and 2014, jumping from 9.9 percent to 11 percent. After being on the decline in the U.S. from 1986 through 1999, suicide rates have jumped 24 percent from 1999 through 2014. With these staggering increases in both depression and suicide, this brings up one important question: What is behind the rise in teen depression?

Although PTSD is a relatively rare outcome of life-threatening motor vehicle collisions, a substantial minority of PTSD cases occur among the relatively small proportion of people with highest predicted risk. This raises the question whether MVC-related PTSD could be reduced with preventive interventions targeted to high-risk survivors using models based on predictors assessed in the immediate aftermath of the MVCs.

People who suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder are unable to stop performing certain motor tasks, such as washing their hands. They can literally spend hours stuck to the sink. A study published July 21 in the journal Cell may contribute to our understanding of what triggers these kind of brain disorders.

Changes that occur in teens' brains as they mature may help explain why the first signs of mental illness tend to appear during this time, researchers report. British researchers used MRI scans to compare the brain structures of nearly 300 participants who were aged 14 to 24. The scientists discovered that the brain's outer region (cortex) becomes thinner as teens get older.

What makes depression so slippery is that while so many diseases have a known root cause, the roots of mental illness remain murky. Now, a big step may have been made in tracing depression to its source, with a new study in Nature revealing no fewer than 15 discrete regions on the human genome associated with the development of major depressive disorder.

A simple and inexpensive therapy is equally as effective at treating depression as the "gold standard" of cognitive behavioral therapy, concludes a study published in The Lancet. Behavioral activation is relatively simple, meaning it can be delivered by more junior staff with less training, making it a cost-effective option.

Sleep disorders are six times more likely among American military veterans than in the general population, a new study finds. And veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder seem to have the highest rates, the researchers said. The research involved more than 9.7 million veterans treated by the Veterans Health Administration system between 2000 and 2010.

Symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder vary widely during the first year of college for students who have experienced previous trauma, according to a study published in the journal Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, and Policy. And while many freshmen with strong traits of resilience can heal on their own, others will experience a slower recovery, particularly those who turn to alcohol.
