The Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Crisis: Implications on Antidepressant Access for Low-Income Americans
Depression affects more than 280 million people worldwide, with poorer communities having disproportionate burden as well as barriers to treatment. This study examines the role of pharmacy pricing caps in access to antidepressants among poorer Americans through bibliometric analysis of the 100 most cited articles on antidepressant pricing and access in the Web of Science Core Collection. We used tools like Bibliometrix and VOSviewer to visualize publication trends, dominant contributors, themat…

Neural Responses to Affective Sentences Reveal Signatures of Depression
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a highly prevalent mental health condition, and a deeper understanding of its neurocognitive foundations is essential for identifying how core functions such as emotional and self-referential processing are affected. We investigate how depression alters the temporal dynamics of emotional processing by measuring neural responses to self-referential affective sentences using surface electroencephalography (EEG) in healthy and depressed individuals. Our results r…

Regenerating Daily Routines for Young Adults with Depression through User-Led Indoor Environment Modifications Using Local Natural Materials
Young adults with depression often experience prolonged indoor stays, limiting their access to natural environments and exacerbating mental health challenges. While nature therapy is recognized for its psychological benefits, existing interventions frequently require outdoor engagement, which may not be accessible for all individuals. This study explores the potential of user-led indoor modifications using local natural materials as a mental health intervention. A qualitative approach wasemploy…

The Impact of Social Isolation on Subjective Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: A Study Based on Network Analysis and Longitudinal Mode

The Impact of Social Isolation on Subjective Cognitive Decline in Older Adults: A Study Based on Network Analysis and Longitudinal Mode
Social isolation (SI) in older adults has emerged as a critical mental health concern, with established links to cognitive decline. While depression is hypothesized to mediate this relationship, the longitudinal mechanisms remain unclear. This study employed network analysis and cross-lagged modeling to examine these relationships during pandemic-related social restrictions. We collected data from 1,230 older adults (Mage=64.49, SD=3.84) across three timepoints (during lockdown, immediately pos…

when it comes to #psychology and #mentalhealth I've read a decent number of #books on the topic.
I think the best I've read are:
- David D. Burns' Feeling Good (CBT generally including anxiety, depression)
- Sue Johnson's Hold Me Tight (romantic/marital relationships)
- Peter Kramer's Against Depression (on why depression is not a creative gift or sign of moral incompetence, biological underpinnings)
Peter Rutter's Sex in the Forbidden Zone has also been instrumental in forming my understanding of the unhealthy ways romantic interest manifests.
Anne Wilson Schaef's Co-Dependence: Misunderstood--Mistreated is the best I've read explaining how "being good" can oftentimes actually be bad.
The latter two are both more things I extract from the books rather than the books themselves and both are couched in ways that make them not ideally suited to the topic...but still the best I've found.
In addition one might include Joel Fuhrman's Eat for Life (I'm reading it now, I originally read Eat to Live) for nutritional health (which affects psychological) and David Allen's Getting Things Done (still one of the most influential books I've read on productivity).
My #question is, are there books you've read that you'd considered "must reads" on psychological / mental health? Not just mental illness, but mental health?

A really compelling read about life, skiing, adventurism, depression, love.

Just finished Weirdo by Tony Weaver Jr. Jes and Cin Wibowo. It's a good graphic novel semi-memoir about bullying and depression. I suspect it won't be true to the experiences of people with chronic depression (In Limbo by Deb JJ Lee is another graphic novel memoir I read recently that does involve chronic depression).

Human Empathy as Encoder: AI-Assisted Depression Assessment in Special Education
Assessing student depression in sensitive environments like special education is challenging. Standardized questionnaires may not fully reflect students' true situations. Furthermore, automated methods often falter with rich student narratives, lacking the crucial, individualized insights stemming from teachers' empathetic connections with students. Existing methods often fail to address this ambiguity or effectively integrate educator understanding. To address these limitations by fostering a …

Finished 1923 this week. Doesn't have the elŠn of Yellowstone/1883, esp when it comes to dialogue, but was a very solid ride nonetheless. My favorite thing is how they brought the era to life.
You don't have to have watched anything else to get it, but the other stories fill in context.
That said, I'd start with 1883, to this, to Yellowstone if I was new to it.

1923
Follow a new generation of the Dutton family during the early twentieth century when pandemics, historic drought, the end of Prohibition and the Great Depression all plague the mountain west, and the Duttons who call it home.

Formation and evolution of turbulence in convectively unstable internal solitary waves of depression shoaling over gentle slopes in the South China Sea
The shoaling of high-amplitude Internal Solitary Waves (ISWs) of depression in the South China Sea (SCS) is examined through large-scale parallel turbulence-resolving high-accuracy/resolution simulations. A select, near-isobath-normal, bathymetric transect of the gentle SCS continental slope is employed together with stratification and current profiles obtained by in-situ measurements. Three simulations of separate ISWs with initial deep-water amplitudes in the range [136m, 150m] leverage a nov…

Towards Machine Unlearning for Paralinguistic Speech Processing
In this work, we pioneer the study of Machine Unlearning (MU) for Paralinguistic Speech Processing (PSP). We focus on two key PSP tasks: Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) and Depression Detection (DD). To this end, we propose, SISA++, a novel extension to previous state-of-the-art (SOTA) MU method, SISA by merging models trained on different shards with weight-averaging. With such modifications, we show that SISA++ preserves performance more in comparison to SISA after unlearning in benchmark SE…

White House officials wanted to put federal workers ‘in trauma.’ It’s working.
Federal workers describe struggling with panic attacks, depression, suicidal thoughts. “Why doesn’t anyone care?”
