Recent Mental Health Blog | Depression PostsIs Depression Numbing Your Anxiety?by Dr. Gregory Jantz17 Jan 2012 06:01 PM Years ago depression was considered a weakness, suffered by weak people, some citing a higher rate of depression among women. No Two Depressions are Created Equalby Dr. Gregory Jantz07 Jan 2012 05:37 PM Most people don't start out in life intentionally headed toward depression. Life just takes you down that detour sometimes, for a whole host of reasons. Sometimes it's a traumatic event that shakes your world and shatters your confidence. Women, coffee, and depressionby T_Weber_MA28 Sep 2011 01:03 PM Apparently coffee is good for your mental health, at least if you are a woman. A different type of ADAP - ask for it!by T_Weber_MA24 Sep 2011 08:34 PM A few years ago I worked for the federally funded AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) and until today I had no idea there was another ADAP out there. While I like to think of myself as one who keeps up with the times when it comes to great programs, this one somehow slipped by me. Reluctance to talk to doctors about depression.by T_Weber_MA22 Sep 2011 03:57 PM A recent survey in California and published in the Annals of Family Medicine showed nearly half of people with depressive symptoms did not speak to their primary care physician about it. The biggest reason? Worry about being put on anti-depressant medications. Sadness Takes Its Tollby T_Weber_MA31 Aug 2011 08:29 PM Maybe this should say "madness" instead. I am just not sure. Like many in this country I was recently laid off. It was unexpected, and overwhelming. I now get up every morning and take my kids to school, and then wander around the house wondering what to do with myself. Supermoms and Depressionby T_Weber_MA27 Aug 2011 02:46 PM When I saw a recent headline about so-called supermoms being at a higher risk for depression my first thought was "Who isn't a supermom these days"? Whether you work outside of the home or not the pressure on moms is high. The link between depression and maltreatment.by T_Weber_MA16 Aug 2011 01:49 PM I suppose it is a no brainer to say that someone who is maltreated as a child has a higher likelihood of being depressed as an adult. You may wonder why researchers would even spend their time looking into this. Depression Bounces Backby T_Weber_MA21 Jul 2011 12:25 PM Interesting research was released this month in the journal Frontiers in Psychology regarding antidepressants and reoccurrence of depression. The full article is called "Blue again: perturbational effects of antidepressants suggest monoaminergic homeostasis in major depression". Athlete with Depression Makes a Statementby T_Weber_MA01 Jul 2011 08:02 PM The title above has a double meaning. New York Mets relief pitcher Taylor Buchholz made an official announcement today that he was being treated for depression and anxiety. When I read the statement I nearly jumped with excitement. |
