Your neighbors are whistling on their way to work, greeting you with an enthusiasm peculiar to warm weather. And if you hear one more person ask you about your summer vacation plans, you will throw a US map and atlas at them. You don’t mean to be grumpy. But darn it, you are miserable in the oppressive heat, your kids are home for 90 consecutive days, and you are don’t have the stamina to pretend you are giddy that summer has arrived. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. After publishing a piece recently about the trigger of Memorial Day for me — reminding me that most of my relapses have happened in the summer months — I’ve heard from so many readers that fear this time of year for the same reason: summer depression. Ian A. Cook, MD, the direc...

According to new research, the answer is yes. In one of the largest studies on omega-3 supplements done to date, Canadian researchers found that for people who don’t also have an anxiety disorder with their depression, the popular omega-3 fish supplements helped improve depression symptoms. The improvements the researchers found in this study were similar to improvements found in studies of antidepressants, suggesting that for some people, omega-3 may be an inexpensive antidepressant alternative. From October 2005 to January 2009, 432 male and female participants with major unipolar depression were recruited to take part in this randomized, double-blind study (neither patients nor researchers knew which capsules patients received). For eight weeks,...

In this post, I’ll talk about some of the depression programs available online. The Australian National University’s Centre for Mental Health Research is one of the unsung heroes in the development and research of programs to treat depression online, for both adults and teens. What they have done over the past decade is not exactly rocket science, and yet, surprisingly, most people have never heard of one of their free online programs. They’ve taken cognitive behavioral theories and techniques and translated them into online tutorials and programs. Then they did something a lot of organizations (and virtually all companies) fail to do ...

That percentage is considerably higher than the National Alliance of Mental Illness report of about 5 to 8% of the general adult population has major depression. The researchers, from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, found many interesting points. The press release says: compared to a sample of residents in the general public, those in foreclosure were more likely to be uninsured (22% compared to 8%), though similar health problems were seen among both the insured and uninsured nearly 60% reported that they had skipped or delayed meals because they couldn...
