In the study of combat veterans, researchers discovered distinct patterns for how the brain and body respond to learning danger and safety depending on the severity of PTSD symptoms.

Many people who die by suicide denied having suicidal thoughts when asked directly by doctors in the months leading up to their deaths, according to a new meta-analysis at the University of New South Wales in Australia. The findings, published in the journal BJPsych Open, question the widely held belief that suicide can be predicted by psychiatrists and clinicians via a patient-risk assessment, especially in the short-term.

The task was designed to scare the kids. One by one, adults guided children, ranging in age from 3 to 7, into a dimly lit room containing a mysterious covered mound. To build anticipation, the adults intoned, "I have something in here to show you," or "Let's be quiet so it doesn't wake up." The adult then uncovered the mound — revealed to be a terrarium — and pulled out a realistic looking plastic snake.

Registered nurse Ebony Monroe of Houston recently went through a period of being quick to anger about every little thing. She didn't realize then what it might mean for her health. "If you had told me in the beginning that my irritability was related to depression, I would probably be livid," Monroe says with a laugh. "I did not think irritability aligned with depression."

Certain bacteria dwelling in the human gut might feed depression, according to a new study that adds evidence to the theory. Researchers found that among over 2,100 adults, those with depression showed differences in specific groups of gut bacteria.
