    Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General

    April 29, 2008 /

    In children and adolescents, the most frequently diagnosed mood disorders are major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and bipolar disorder. Because mood disorders such as depression substantially increase the risk of suicide, suicidal behavior is a matter of serious concern for clinicians who deal with the mental health problems of children and adolescents. The incidence of suicide attempts reaches a peak during the midadolescent years, and mortality from suicide, which increases steadily through the teens, is the third leading cause of death at that age (CDC, 1999; Hoyert et al., 1999). Although suicide cannot be defined as a mental disorder, the various risk factors—especially the presence of mood disorders—that predispose young…

    Family Therapy with Suicidal Adolescents

    April 29, 2008 /

    Topeka, KS – Posted Tuesday, April 29, 2008 Tony Jurich knows how precarious life can be, especially for an adolescent. The professor of family studies and human services at Kansas State University tells this story: A young man came into his office, brought by terrified parents who heard the teen muttering about killing himself. Suicidal adolescents often occupy the worn black leather couch where the young man slumped. Jurich has been a therapist specializing in youth suicide for 36 years. He has not lost one. The forlorn young man was not to be consoled. With gentle nudges honed from years of experience and research, Jurich drew out the young man’s…

    When one antidepressant doesn’t work, another may

    April 26, 2008 /

    Wed Apr 23, 2008 3:13pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – For people suffering from depression that doesn’t respond to treatment with one type of antidepressant, switching to a different type may be the best treatment, according to a new report. Relatively new antidepressants such as Prozac and Zoloft, for example, are called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or SSRIs. In recent clinical trials, only about a third of depressed patients achieved remission with SSRI treatment, the authors explain, but there is little consensus among psychiatrists about the best treatment for patients when an SSRI doesn’t work. To look into this, Dr. George I. Papakostas from Harvard Medical School, Boston, and…

    Yesterday, the House of Representatives voted 349 to 62 to pass a bill (H.R. 5613) to block Medicaid regulations that would reduce access to rehabilitative, case management and school-based services.  The Administration has threatened to veto this bill, but the vote in the House far exceeds the number needed to override a veto.

It affects how you think and behave and can cause a variety of emotional and physical problems. You may not be able to go about your usual daily activities, and depression may make you feel as if life just isn’t worth living anymore.
