Depression May Help Spur Mental Decline
A new research report shows that seniors with depression face an increased risk of cognitive impairment and the more serious the depression, the more serious the decline. Read more.
Antidepressants May Be Tied to Modest Suicide Risk in Children
Who
knows what to believe anymore? A year or so ago, there was a huge brouhaha over
antidepressants being tied to a serious risk of increased suicidal thoughts --
especially in adolescents taking the depression medication. It was so
serious, the FDA ordered antidepressant manufacturers to put a "black box"
warning on the package insert.
Since all the media coverage died down, several studies have shown the risk to be relatively minimal. Here's the latest one.
Postpartum Depression Impacts Infant Care
People who visit HealthyPlace.com know how serious depression can be.
New research indicates that one type of
depression that affects mothers who have just had children plays a significant
role in how they care for that child. They are less likely to breast-feed, play
with, read to, or otherwise interact with their newborns.
For more information in the seriousness of depression and the consequences of not getting treatment, go here.
Online Gaming May Help Kids With Depression
This is a public relations press release turned out by an supplement manufacturer, so beware. They are claiming their research shows that online communities are becoming a new way for teenagers to treat their depression. More.
Children With Bipolar Face Enduring and Rapidly Changing Symptoms
"To have bipolar symptoms at a young age deprives these children of the
opportunity to experience normal emotional, cognitive and social development,
establishing the urgent need to diagnose and treat these patients early on,"
reports the head of a
major research study.

From the HealthyPlace.com Bulletin Boards: "They don't understand that I hate to feel this way"
OnTheFence:
"I am 27 and have struggled with depression for years with some periods of happiness. I've tried counseling, antidepressant and lifestyle change. I changed doctors and treatments. My family thinks I choose to have a bad attitude. My boyfriend told me today that his patience is wearing thin with me being pissed off all the time. After I hung up the phone, I threw it at my closet door and then cried until I couldn't breath. They don't understand that I hate to feel this way. Anyone?" respond here.
