What you may not have realized is just how different we are when it comes to dealing with stress. And one of the keys appears to be how defensive we are: Defensiveness is a trait characterized by avoidance, denial or repression of information perceived as threatening. In women, a strong defensive reaction to judgment from others or a threat to self-esteem will result in high blood pressure and heart rate. But in older men, the researchers found those with low defensive reactions have higher cardiovascular rates. This is not a finding that has previously been noted in the research. Conventional wisdom would have expected that one’s defensiveness would have a similar impact on health, regardless of gend...

Today, as the crisis enters its third week, I ask that you consider giving a little more… A Mindful Dialogue is a new e-book edited by our blogger Elisha Goldstein, Ph.D. and that was written to be a companion through life when dealing with stress, pain and difficult emotions. Through 24 interviews with leaders in the field such as Jack Kornfield, Dan Siegel, Sharon Salzberg, Tara Brach, Jeff Brantley, Zindel Segal and Others and 23 short explorations of simple quotes from leaders such as Thich Nhat Hanh, the Dalai Lama, Rumi, Hafiz, Pema Chodron and Others, you’ll uncover a mindful path toward working with the stress, pain and difficult emotions in daily life. 100% of the proceeds will go to HOPE FOR HA...

PatientsLikeMe.com is an online community for people with significant, life-changing conditions that emphasizes the sharing of health care data and information publicly. It is thought by sharing such information with one another and for research purposes, we can learn more about health and mental health concerns, more quickly and in a real population than could otherwise be done. Inpatient psychiatric treatment is not all that common (most people who get treatment for a mental health concern [or "mood condition," as they call it] do so in an outpatient setting).
