From June 25: Could a simple shot in the neck be a break-through for the debilitating symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder? The toll from PTSD is growing. About 20 veterans a day commit suicide in what the VA is now calling an epidemic. Only 40% find relief from PTSD with current treatments. The new procedure called stellate ganglion block, or SGB, is so fast-acting that many believe it could be a game changer.

Psychiatric News
From Sept. 3: A network meta-analysis published in JAMA Psychiatry that compared various treatment strategies for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) concluded that while psychotherapy and medications are comparable in the short term, a psychotherapy-based approach is superior to medication in the long term. The study findings support the conclusions of many professional guidelines, which recommend psychotherapy as the frontline treatment for PTSD, with medications as a secondary option.

The National Law Review
From March 19: Recently, Gillian had the distinct pleasure of attending the ABA Occupational Safety and Health Law Meeting in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The meeting included more than a dozen presentations and panels on workplace safety put on by management and union lawyers, OSHRC Commissioners, the Solicitor of Labor’s office, safety professionals, administrative law judges and others. The discussions provided a wealth of important information on compliance with government safety regulations, including valuable insight into where the DOL is focusing its initiatives in the coming year. Workplace violence prevention is near the top of that list, with a particular focus on employers in the health care industry, and remarks by the Commissioners discussing a new opinion on the subject helped to illuminate what DOL enforcement efforts in that arena may look like.

From April 30: Heidi Wylie was a beautiful, young 20-something. She had flowing long brown hair, a fit physique and a wholesome, Midwestern look.

Forbes
From Nov. 12: Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Erik Kandel once estimated that 80% to 90% of the mind works unconsciously, meaning that the brains of even the most unbiased people still exhibit this primal tendency. The effects of this unconscious bias are perhaps most felt in the workplace, where, despite organizations increasingly advocating for greater equality and respect for all employees, social categorizations such as age, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, socio-economic status and physical disability continue to impact hiring and employee promotions.

From Oct. 8: Young people who are hooked on their smartphones may be at an increased risk for depression and loneliness, according to a new study from the University of Arizona.
A growing body of research has identified a link between smartphone dependency and symptoms of depression and loneliness. However, it's been unclear whether reliance on smartphones precedes those symptoms, or whether the reverse is true: that depressed or lonely people are more likely to become dependent on their phones.
