Divorced, alcoholic and at times suicidal, he had tried almost all the accepted treatments for post-traumatic stress disorder: psychotherapy, group therapy and nearly a dozen different medications.
"Nothing worked for me, so I put aside the idea that I could get better," said Hardin, 37. "I just pretty much became a hermit in my cabin and never went out."
Then, in 2013, he joined a small drug trial testing whether PTSD could be treated with MDMA, the illegal party drug better known as Ecstasy.

Psychopaths do experience regret, particularly when their bad decisions affect them directly — yet they don't use that experience to inform their future choices, according to a new study published recently in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"The popular view of psychopaths is that they are cold, callous, and simply don't care what happens to themselves or anybody else," said Yale psychologist Arielle Baskin-Sommers, co-author of the paper. "But this research shows they can experience negative emotions — if they are impacted by the situation."

Holiday decor and store displays remind us the holiday season quickly approaches. While this time of year offers a wonderful source of cheer, the holidays increase feelings of sadness and despair for some.

It'll involve a 57-question survey to help measure employee mental health, asking about everything from nutrition to exercise, sleep and energy levels at work.

"You're only one yoga class away from a good mood," says the lean but muscular yoga instructor, who encourages us to smile as she leads us through a flow of warrior poses. Natural light floods the room through wall-to-floor windows and a skylight that breaches the lofted ceiling. Acoustic folk songs stream from the sound system. As the instructor guides us to stand in mountain pose with spines tall and eyes closed, she prompts us to “find that stillness within."
Though this seems like an upscale yoga studio, it's not. It's just an ordinary day at the GoPro corporate offices in Carlsbad, California. The half-dozen yogis that surround me are employees practicing asanas before their lunch break.
