    Stress from having fewer daylight hours can result in Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.)

    October 31, 2008 /

    Friday, October 31, 2008  Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) It is the end of Daylight Savings Time and the beginning of shorter days and longer nights. For many people, especially women, this annual change of seasons also triggers a change in mood, leading to feelings of fatigue, depression and anxiety — more severe than just winter blues. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, about half a million Americans suffer from winter-onset depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. Although more common in northern regions where the winters are longer, the condition plagues residents in southern regions, too.

    Fall Back; Turning your clocks back may just help your heart.

    your heart. It’s time to turn your clocks back this weekend Friday, October 31, 2008 New York — Turning your clock back on Sunday may be good for your heart. Swedish researchers looked at 20 years of records and discovered that the number of heart attacks dipped on the Monday after clocks were set back an hour, possibly because people got an extra hour of sleep. Matt Dunham/Associated Press An Extra hour of sleep cited as making all the difference in curbing heart attacks Swedish researchers say that the hour gained when setting our clocks back leads to fewer heart attacks over the next few days. The opposite effect is…

    Protection Against Depression? Latest Study Suggests Sprituality

    October 25, 2008 /

     24 Oct 2008   Those who worship a higher power often do so in different ways. Whether they are active in their religious community, or prefer to simply pray or meditate, new research out of Temple University suggests that a person’s religiousness – also called religiosity – can offer insight into their risk for depression. Lead researcher Joanna Maselko, Sc.D., characterized the religiosity of 918 study participants in terms of three domains of religiosity: religious service attendance, which refers to being involved with a church; religious well-being, which refers to the quality of a person’s relationship with a higher power; and existential well-being, which refers to a person’s sense of meaning…

    Latest Discovery On Why People Develop Seasonal Affective Disorder (Sad)

    October 19, 2008 /

    ScienceDaily (Sep. 9, 2008) — Why do many Canadians get the winter blues? In the first study of its kind in the living human brain, Dr. Jeffrey Meyer and colleagues at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) have discovered greater levels of serotonin transporter in the brain in winter than in summer. These findings have important implications for understanding seasonal mood change in healthy people, vulnerability to seasonal affective disorders and the relationship of light exposure to mood.

    Generalized Social Phobia is Characterized by Fear & Avoidance of Social Situations

    October 19, 2008 /

    ScienceDaily (Oct. 7, 2008) — Magnetic resonance brain imaging reveals that patients with generalized social phobia respond differently than others to negative comments about themselves, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. “It is fear of being judged negatively by others, as well” the authors write as background information in the article. “It is the most common anxiety disorder in the general population, with the lifetime prevalence estimated at 13.3 percent, and it is associated with a high risk for depression, alcohol and drug abuse and suicide.” Previous studies have found differences in the way brains of affected individuals…

    Lost Common Sense about Depression: Relationships

    October 14, 2008 /

    Bruce E. Levine Lost Common Sense about Depression: Relationships          Both research and experience have long informed mental health professionals of a strong link between depression and relationship dissatisfaction. So why is psychiatry losing that awareness? One major reason is the disappearance in psychiatry of psychotherapy (talk therapy), in which it becomes obvious just how important our significant relationships are to our mental health. According to the August 2008 Archives of General Psychiatry article “National Trends in Psychotherapy by Office-Based Psychiatrists,” the percentage of patient visits to a psychiatrist involving any psychotherapy fell to 28.9% in 2004-2005 (from 44.4% in 1996-1997), and the percentage of psychiatrists using psychotherapy with…
