ADAA President's Message
May is Mental Health Awareness Month.
Will You Be Joining the Conversation to #Breakthestigma?
More than 450 million people worldwide suffer from mental disorders with 350 million — of all ages and from all communities — suffering from depression. Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide. Almost 75 percent of people with mental disorders remain untreated in developing countries with almost 1 million people taking their lives each year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), anxiety disorders are the most common mental disorders worldwide with the economic cost of mental disorders globally estimated at $1 trillion a year. We as mental health professionals are making a difference every day to understand — and combat — the global prevalence of mental, substance and behavioral disorders by focusing on new research and improving treatments to break this alarming worldwide trend. I am proud to be a member of the ADAA professional community and to be working with so many of you on this important mission. Interested in becoming more involved with ADAA? You can share your knowledge and experience by writing a professional or public blog post or hosting a webinar. Joining a committee or special interest group is a great way to network and collaborate with other ADAA members. Please contact Lisa Patterson, ADAA's Membership Director, to learn more about these and other great member benefits.
Join the conversation today and help ADAA triumph over these disorders and #Breakthestigma associated with mental health disorders. Thank you!
Beth Salcedo, MD
ADAA Board President

A new study finds that a three-minute version of a brain stimulation treatment is just as effective as the standard 37-minute version for hard-to-treat depression. The treatment is called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which uses magnetic field pulses to non-invasively stimulate a part of the brain called the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is associated with mood regulation.

These difficulties are compounded by inconsistent outcomes for fetal risks from prenatal exposure to mood stabilizers

While there may not be any concrete treatments for blocking suicidal thoughts, there may be hope on the horizon for a new non-invasive treatment that can erase the impulses altogether. A specific kind of magnetic brain stimulation has been found effective in reducing suicidal thinking in a significant portion of people with hard-to-treat depression, according to this new study.

People suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder might find some relief by using the popular party drug ecstasy, a small study suggests. Technically, this synthetic drug is called 3,4-methylenedioxy-methamphetamine (MDMA) and it alters mood and perception. When tried with 26 veterans and first responders with PTSD, it helped many of them, investigators found.

Scientists have uncovered dozens of genes that increase the risk of depression — a major finding that underscores the complexity of the disease and reveals why antidepressant therapies work well for some people but are utterly ineffective for others. A global consortium of more than 200 scientists identified 44 gene variants, or small changes in genes, each one contributing in some small way to a person's risk of depression.

Ryan Reynolds is getting real about his struggle with anxiety. In an interview with the New York Times that was published on Wednesday, the "Deadpool" star opened up about the feelings of nervousness and fear that have plagued him throughout his life. "I have anxiety, I've always had anxiety," he explained, noting that he still feels like he's about to throw up before every talk show appearance.

Men who are vocal about any kind of mental issues can be dismissed as weak. As inferior. As flawed, broken guys who are more likely to be ostracized for their honesty, instead of rewarded for their bravery. Instead of affording a fellow man compassion, we mock, belittle and turn a blind eye. We freely spit the phrase, "Man up," as though your gender alone should suffice to guide you through your darkest times.
