Opinion: What makes behavioral healthcare leadership so hard?
Behavioral Healthcare
Dr. H. Steven Moffic writes, "In retrospect, I think one of the reasons I've been so fascinated to blog about successful leaders in other fields, and in other countries, is because of how hard it is to be a leader in behavioral healthcare in the United States.

Does depression hit women harder?
The Daily Beast
Women are more likely than men to suffer from depression. Women are more likely to suffer from anxiety, too, and sleep disorders, as well as a host of other emotional and medical problems. On the other end of the spectrum, men suffer more often from substance abuse issues and autism. But as it turns out, mental health issues do not scale up measure for measure on both sides — for women are more likely than men to struggle under the weight of many emotional disorders.
