Caring for Trauma Survivors and Caring for Yourself in the Process: Everyday Tips for Non-Professionals
Elise just told me about her past. I knew she had been through a lot, but not all that. She said her mom hit her and left bruises when she was a kid, her neighbor touched her where she didn’t want to be touched, and I guess her brother was alcoholic. There was a lot of other stuff, too. It has gotten better in the last couple years so that is good. I have known their whole family for a long time and never knew any of that.
What do I do now? I want to help somehow, but is there anything to do? I don’t know if I should tell someone. I feel sad.
We hope abuse and trauma never happen to ourselves or someone we love...

Why do we enjoy reality TV? Researchers say it ’s more about empathy than humiliation
By guest blogger Tomasz Witkowski
Television programs portraying ordinary people in unexpected situations are almost as old as the medium of television itself. First aired in 1984, Candid Camera is often seen as a prototype of the reality show. Its premise was simple – unsuspecting people were confronted with unusual, funny situations and filmed with hidden cameras. However, the genre exploded as a phenomenon in the late 1990s and 2000s with the global success of such series as Survivor, Idol, and Big Brother, and to this day many people continue to abandon their own activities for the voyeuristic other.

9 Steps to Treat Depression Naturally
Ever since I started an online community for treatment-resistant depression — depression and anxiety that don’t respond to psychotropic medications — I’ve been inundated with mail from desperate people who have tried 30 to 40 different kinds of antidepressants, and feel no relief. I repeatedly hear from family members of folks who have tried everything, and are not getting better. I sense the utter frustration and despair in their words, and it pains me. I, too, felt hopeless after trying countless medication combinations and sitting through years of psychotherapy sessions, only to continue my death ob...

Understanding PTSD and its Effects on Marriage
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that occurs following a life-threatening event such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or physical or sexual assault. Approximately eight percent of all people will experience PTSD at some point in their life. That number rises to about 30 percent for combat veterans.
Those suffering with PTSD may experience several different types of symptoms:
Reliving. Becoming emotionally or physically upset when reminded or triggered. Nightmares and flashbacks are extremely common.
Avoidance. Staying away from places or peop...

No, You Don't Need Psychotherapy
Dr. Michael I. Bennett had a opinionator piece in the New York Times a few days ago that made my blood boil. In You Are Stronger Than You (And Your Therapist) Think, Bennett talks about a patient who has been in weekly psychotherapy for years until the insurance company decides that the patient does not need weekly sessions -- 12 sessions per year are approved. But the patient is not Bennett's patient, and he writes from the perspective of someone who has worked for an insurance companies. Bennett writes:I know what it’s like, as a psychiatrist, to feel that your patient’s safety depends on your ...

TRIAL BY ERROR: The Troubling Case of the PACE Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Study
By David Tuller, DrPH
David Tuller is academic coordinator of the concurrent masters degree program in public health and journalism at the University of California, Berkeley.
A few years ago, Dr. Racaniello let me hijack this space for a long piece about the CDC’s persistent incompetence in its efforts to address the devastating illness the agency itself had misnamed “chronic fatigue syndrome.” Now I’m back with an even longer piece about the U.K’s controversial and highly influential PACE trial. The $8 million study, funded by British government agencies, purportedly proved that patients could “recover” fr...

Proactive Psychiatric Consultation For Hospitalized Patients, A Plan for the Future
The Yale Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT) is a proactive, multi-disciplinary psychiatric consultation service for all internal medicine inpatients at Yale-New Haven Hospital. The goal of the team, which includes nurses, social workers, and psychiatrists, is to shift from a “reactive” to a “proactive” paradigm of psychiatric consultations on hospital inpatient medical floors.
The team screens for, identifies, and removes/mitigates behavioral barriers to the effective receipt of health care among hospitalized medical patients, especially among those with co-occurring mental illness and/or substance abuse. To facili...

How to Get Over a Verbally Abusive Relationship
When a destructive, verbally abusive relationship ends, it’s normal to feel a host of conflicting and unresolved emotions.
Verbally abusive relationships can destroy your heart and soul and make you feel like a completely changed person. The recovery process takes time, support from others, patience and self-love — but you can get through it and emerge stronger, happier and healthier than you were before.
Cut All Ties with Your Ex
People who have ended abusive relationships often feel the need to contact their former partners. On some level, you know that you shouldn’t have any contact, yet you might feel co...

Suboxone Controversy: Brattleboro Reformer gets a C
In their story about buprenorphine, Suboxone, and opioid dependence, the Brattleboro Reformer gets it about 60% right. They describe the shortage of physicians certified to treat addicts with buprenorphine, correctly identifying most of the diversion of buprenorphine as desperate attempts at self-treatment. They lose points, though, for allowing an ill-informed legislator to suggest getting rid of buprenorphine altogether, without pointing to the example of Georgia, the former USSR republic, where the ban on buprenorphine resulted in the birth of krokodil, a nightmare drug now found in parts of the US.

12 Films That Feature Mental Illness
In celebration of the 2014 Oscars is my list of movies that feature mental illness. Many of these movies have won Oscars, while others should have, but didn't. As we roll out the red carpet and honor this year's best films, keep in mind that there's no shame in having a mental illness. 1. Ordinary People (Depression, PTSD, Suicide)This is my absolute favorite movie of all time because it portrays the human experience of loss so well and it also features psychotherapy in a realistic way. This was Robert Redford's directorial debut, which also starred. Mary Tyler Moore, Donald Sutherland, Judd Hirsch and...

Best of Our Blogs: November 15, 2013
We go to great lengths to avoid what is for what we think life should be. We numb ourselves with drugs, alcohol, food, work, gossip and mindless TV. As a result, we lose the opportunity to learn from and truly know life for what it is.
Whatever challenge you’re enduring could feel unacceptable, intolerable, and terrifying. You may not believe you have the ability to cope. But courage doesn’t always come in heroic proportions. Sometimes all it requires is taking a step in awareness.

Depression in Doctors
It’s official: In Australia, doctors are depressed.
The results of a survey published by Beyond Blue in October 2013 showed that the rates of depression in over 14,000 doctors and medical students are over four times higher than in that of the general population. One in ten had suicidal thoughts in the last 12 months.
Almost 6 percent of doctors under age 30 experienced very high psychological distress, which was twice the rate of the general population.
Male doctors (especially young doctors) worked longer hours (more than 46 hours per week), were more likely to use alcohol as a coping strategy and had higher rat...

What is Cognitively-Based Compassion Training?
The root of compassion lies in realizing the interconnected nature of all beings on Earth. Cognitively-based Compassion Training (CBCT), a secular alternative to the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of lojong, trains practitioners to cultivate compassion through straightforward contemplative practices.
In addition to realizing greater compassion, practitioners also find an improvement in their health and well-being.
Geshe Lobsang Tenzin Negi, senior lecturer in Emory University’s Department of Religion, developed CBCT and has since initiated research studies into the effects of compassion meditation. UB Hawthorn spoke with h...
