Administering a commonly available hormone via a nasal spray could help prevent the development of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and reduce symptoms in those who already have the condition, results of several clinical studies suggest. Intranasal oxytocin significantly reduced the likelihood of the development of PTSD among patients in an emergency department (ED) who had a high degree of baseline trauma symptoms, said Miranda Olff, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

What makes alcoholics drink? New research has found that in both men and women with alcohol dependence, the major factor predicting the amount of drinking seems to be a question of immediate mood. Surprisingly men with a history of depression were drinking less often than men who were not depressed. This probably means that alcohol treatment needs to be individually tailored.

Task & Purpose
After seven years of struggling to launch the first government-approved study of marijuana's effects on veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder, lead researcher Sue Sisley was optimistic in February, when her team was finally allowed to start enrolling veterans to participate.
Seven months later, though, Sisley has screened thousands of veterans, yet enrolled only 26 who meet the eligibility criteria – prompting concern the study's parameters must change. If that happens, the study could be delayed, Sisley said.

Rhonda was a kind and religious woman. Most importantly, she adored her kids. However, one day, a fleeting thought showed up in her mind, "Did I touch Ronnie inappropriately," as she was buckling her son in his car seat. Rhonda became anxious and couldn't stop worrying about it.

Psychological and/or educational interventions showed a modest benefit for preventing anxiety disorders, a systematic review and meta-analysis found.

The term psychosomatic disorder is used to refer to a condition in which a physical disease is thought to be caused or made worse by mental stress or related factors.
Since this disorder correlates the mind and body, its treatment also involves remedial measures from both medical and psychological fields.
A person with psychosomatic illness is first screened for the presence of stress factors, before the appropriate treatment is provided.

For many years GlaxoSmithKline and its predecessor, SmithKline Beecham, marketed Paxil as an antidepressant that would reduce the risk of suicide in depressed patients.

Iashia Nelson cradled her 4-year-old son, shielding him from the pounding rain as she and close to 30 others huddled together on a rooftop, praying they would be rescued.
In the eight hours they waited, without any food or water, Nelson, 36, said she witnessed at least four people die.
She saw a woman and child trapped in a car, honking their horn in panic until the water engulfed them.
