TIME
My mother, a tough émigré from Hitler's Germany, had a word for the dark states of mind that regularly gripped me when I was in my teens. "Moody," she'd say dismissively. "Stop being so moody." It was a popular word in our household, a way of minimizing things, putting them in their place. My mother had been witness to catastrophic historical events; my feeling unable to get up in the morning or unwilling to go on school trips must have seemed like small potatoes to her.

Some days, Molly C.'s brain insists she can't wear her work shirt. She realizes this is irrational; a uniform is required for her job at a hardware store. Nevertheless, she’s addled by an eerie feeling—like, "If you wear this shirt, something bad will happen today." Usually she can cope, but a few times she couldn't override it, and she called in sick.

"Imagine you had a compound that does what ketamine does, but without its side effects or risk of addiction," says Carlos A. Zarate, M.D., a senior scientist at the National Institute of Mental Health. He's referring to a drug that has been shown in recent years to almost miraculously relieve deep depression — the kind that resists other forms of treatment — within hours, and sometimes, though less frequently, in minutes. The problem is that it can generate serious side effects and is also addictive when misused.

Depression is a major public health problem and leading cause of disability that affects 17 million people in the United States every year.

Emerging research finds that many teens and young adults with chronic liver conditions suffer from depression and anxiety. The mental health disorders can have considerable impacts on their emotional and physical health, say investigators. The findings, which appear in Liver Transplantation, indicate that greater attention should be directed to the mental health of these young patients.

The brains of children with post-traumatic stress disorder have structural differences not seen in the brains of typical kids, a new study finds. The researchers used MRI to compare brain structure in 24 children with PTSD and 23 without the disorder. All had experienced the 2008 Sichuan earthquake in south central China that killed nearly 70,000 people and injured more than 370,000.

Depression is generally considered to be a specific and consistent disorder characterized by a fixed set of symptoms and often treated with a combination of psychotherapy and medication. However, the standard rating scales used by healthcare professionals and researchers to diagnose this disease often differ in the symptoms they list, perhaps explaining why a one-size-fits-all treatment has to date been so ineffective, new research suggests.

Sleep difficulties are common — 30 percent to 50 percent of adults report having trouble sleeping. To address these problems, a team of researchers developed a new CBT-I treatment program. The program uses trained "sleep coaches" who are not therapists. They learn how to give CBT-I using a manual and have weekly, supervised telephone calls with a CBT-I psychologist.
