Earlier this year HealthUnlocked (the largest health network in the world and the organization that hosts ADAA's English and Spanish online peer to peer anxiety and depression support communities) interviewed HU community site users (there are currently 4.5 million people on the platform each month in more than 700 online communities covering a spectrum of health conditions including everything from cancer, to HIV, to anxiety) on how and why they used HealthUnlocked, and have published the results in a report. The survey was sent to a representative sample (2079) of users, all of which had been active on the platform within the last three months.
We invite you to read the HealthUnlocked 2017 Survey Report to view the impact the health and mental health online communities have on helping people manage their own health.

Four genes have been identified that are linked to obsessive compulsive disorder. The genes all play a role in the same brain circuit, and may help explain why people are more likely to have OCD if they have a relative with the condition. People with OCD have intrusive thoughts and feel driven to repeat rituals, such as hand-washing, to relieve their anxiety.

With the highest mortality rate of any mental illness and one of the lowest recovery rates, anorexia nervosa presents substantial challenges to the clinician. That is one reason treatment of the disease requires an interdisciplinary team of providers, including a medical doctor, a mental health specialist and a dietitian, all with experience in treating eating disorders. This team must deliver integrated, coordinated care to patients.

Now in a new study, researchers at the City College of New York have developed a novel assessment model, called the Mentalized Affectivity Scale (MAS), which allows clinicians to approach mental health disorders in a new way.

Researchers at The University of Texas at Dallas are exploring how mild stimulation of the vagus nerve could help alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

Most of us would have tried to speak to somebody at some point in our lives, only to be dismissed or responded with a blunt, almost rude reply. This may have left you wondering what you have done wrong. Wondering what you could have possibly said to offend the person.
