“Question Are there within-person associations between social media use (time) and depressive symptoms across early adolescence?

Findings In this cohort study of 11 876 children and adolescents, within-person increases in social media use during early adolescence were prospectively associated with greater depressive symptoms 1 year later, whereas depressive symptoms were not associated with later social media use.

Meaning The findings suggest that more time spent on social media during early adolescence may contribute to increased depressive symptoms over time.”

That's because mental health isn't just about avoiding burnout; it's about building sustainable practices that support your well-being day after day.

“More American adults with mental health needs have been getting talk therapy in recent years, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. The study also found that the number of people using only psychiatric medications for treatment declined for the first time in years.

"We're seeing that during this time, this increase represents a period where psychotherapy is assuming a more important role in outpatient mental health care," says Dr. Mark Olfson, a psychiatrist and epidemiologist at Columbia University.”

“Insomnia and hazardous drinking are so closely intertwined that estimates suggest at least one-third, and as many as 91%, of people who have a hard time with sleep also misuse alcohol.

A new study suggests that perceived stress and depression factor into the relationship between the two conditions -- perhaps not a surprise. But because the relationship between insomnia and heavy drinking goes in both directions, the influence of stress or depression depends on which condition came first, the analysis found.”

"We need to consider depression in both parents, not just mothers," said Schmitz.

"Depression is treatable, and to support the whole family, pediatricians must start talking with dads about it and developing father-focused interventions that meet their needs."

On average, between 8% and 13% of fathers in the United States will be affected by some form of depression during their child's early years, and the prevalence increases to 50% when the mother is also experiencing postpartum depression.”
