Clinical Kung Fu: Managing Anger in Children and Teens with Anxiety Disorders
 Featuring: Alison R. Alden, PhD, and Julieanne R. Pojas, PsyD
Children and adolescents with anxiety disorders often act out or react with anger to treatment. In particular, the prospect of doing exposure and resisting compulsions or safety behaviors can engender not only fear but also anger, resistance, and defiance. This can take the form of tantrums, threats of harm to self or others when parents insist on treatment, overt treatment refusal and refusal to participate in other activities of daily living such as school. This can be difficult for clinicians and families to manage, and can lead to both treatment dropout and conflict at home. This workshop will present practical strategies that clinicians can use to deal with children;s anger, and suggestions for how to present these strategies to parents. Topics covered will include managing tantrums, what to do when a child refuses to participate in treatment or school, and managing verbal and physical aggression toward others.
- Sept. 14 | Noon – 1 p.m. ET

A team of France- and United Kingdom-based researchers studied up to 10,308 individuals (age 35 to 55) who were recruited to the Whitehall II cohort study in 1985.

For decades, scientists have searched for a new type of antidepressant, one that works differently from the 20-plus drugs already on the market. Finding a new option is crucial, since a third of people don't respond to available depression treatments. They haven't had much luck — except for the discovery that IV infusions of ketamine hydrochloride can cause rapid antidepressant effects in many people with stubborn depression.

Men with both obstructive sleep apnea and insomnia are much more likely to have depression symptoms compared to men with either sleep disorder alone, suggests a recent Australian study. The depression symptoms also seem to be worse for men who have both apnea and insomnia compared to men with depression but without this combination of sleep problems, the authors report in the journal Respirology.
