Julie Lythcott-Haims noticed a disturbing trend during her decade as a dean of freshmen at Stanford University. Incoming students were brilliant and accomplished and virtually flawless, on paper. But with each year, more of them seemed incapable of taking care of themselves. At the same time, parents were becoming more and more involved in their children's lives.

Previous research on the associations between mental disorders and chronic pain has been inconsistent and primarily conducted in adults.

We've all seen that Facebook friend pop up in our news feeds far more often than we'd like — posting about the most miniscule aspects of their day or trying a little too hard to show everyone how much fun they're having.

Sometime around 1907, well before the modern randomized clinical trial was routine, American psychiatrist Henry Cotton began removing decaying teeth from his patients in hopes of curing their mental disorders. If that didn't work, he moved on to more invasive excisions: tonsils, testicles, ovaries and, in some cases, colons. Though his rogue surgeries were dreadfully misguided and disfiguring, a growing body of research suggests that there might be something to his belief that infection is involved in some forms of mental illness.
