A new study finds that people who independently seek mental health care are more likely to rate their treatment as effective, compared to those ordered into care. Researchers looked at data from the 2010-2014 National Survey on Drug Use and Health to better understand how individuals enter mental healthcare — via individual choice or coercion — and whether or not that path is associated with how the patient perceives the care.

People's Facebook posts might predict whether they are suffering from depression, researchers reported on Oct. 15. The researchers found that the words people used seemed to indicate whether they would later be diagnosed with depression. The findings offer a way to flag people who may be in need of help, but they also raise important questions about people's health privacy, the team reported.

Allie Flinn writes: I, along with 6.8 million American adults, have generalized anxiety disorder, and it's not going away anytime soon — in fact, I imagine it'll always be part of who I am.
