  3. Antidepressants in primary care: Is this how to treat depression?

    Antidepressants, now the third-most commonly prescribed class of drugs in the United States, are routinely offered to patients with vague complaints of fatigue, pain and malaise but who are not classified as suffering from a mental disorder by the physician who&nbsp;recommends the treatment, says a new study. And among primary care provider as well as specialists who are not psychiatrists, the practice of prescribing these medications without diagnosing depression is rising steeply, <a title="Health Affairs abstract" href="http://content.healthaffairs.org/content/30/8/1434.abstract" target="_blank">the study</a> finds.

  5. Study identifies genes linked to post-traumatic stress disorder

    Just before noon on a December morning in 1988, a magnitude 6.8 earthquake shook over 40% of the territory of Armenia, centered in the northern city of Spitak. The temblor leveled entire towns and cities, killed an estimated 25,000 Armenians &mdash; two-thirds of them children trapped and crushed in their crumbling schools &mdash; and hastened the dissolution of the Soviet Union, of which Armenia was then a part.

  7. Psychiatrists prescribe remedies for school bullying

    Bullying&nbsp;in school is a process that arises out of toxic&nbsp;group dynamics, not a problem originating with a single troubled person. It may not feel that way when you've just&nbsp;been&nbsp;jeered at&nbsp;by&nbsp;one of the stars of the school's athletic program or the meanest girl in your grade just posted a nasty comment on your Facebook&nbsp;wall, but that is how the <a title="American Psychiatric Assn homepage" href="http://www.healthyminds.org/" target="_blank">American Psychiatric Assn.'s</a> first foray into the subject describes bullying, and it shapes how the nation's psychiatrists propose to help stamp out the practice.

  9. Military suicides linked to low Omega-3 levels

    In a finding&nbsp;suggesting powerful psychiatric benefits&nbsp;for a component of fish oil, a study published Wednesday has linked military suicides to low levels of docosahexaenoic acid and found that&nbsp;service personnel&nbsp;with higher levels of DHA in their blood were less likely to take their own lives.

  11. Stress in trauma's wake: Genes play a major role

    Ten years after terrorists&nbsp;hijacked four American jetliners and killed nearly 3,000 people, there's&nbsp;growing evidence that&nbsp;people with a previous history of depression, or who have been traumatized before, are far more vulnerable to developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) than those without such histories. A new study&nbsp;suggests why, and supplies yet more evidence&nbsp;that genes play a powerful role in influencing who develops post-traumatic stress disorder after a traumatic event and who doesn't.

  13. Depression treatment: Better but still not great

    Depression affects 1 in 6 Americans in the course of his or her lifetime. And while antidepressant medications have seemingly revolutionized treatment, making the depressed well again is a largely hit-or-miss proposition. A review of advances in depression treatment published in the Lancet this week acknowledges the limitations of current treatment, but looks ahead hopefully to several new therapies -- among them, deep-brain stimulation.

    Got stress?
