Professional athletes, celebrities, and politicians routinely go public with their mental health struggles. And everyone is talking—correctly or not—in the language of therapy, peppering conversations with references to gaslighting, toxic people, and boundaries. All this mainstream awareness is reflected in the data too: by the latest federal estimates, about one in eight U.S. adults now takes an antidepressant and one in five has recently received some kind of mental-health care, an increase of almost 15 mil...

More cancer screenings sounds like good news. But can the NHS cope with them? | Christina Pagel
Earlier detection means more successful treatment – but also a drain on resources for an already creaking health serviceThis month, it was reported that England ’s existing screening programme forbowel cancer for 60 to 74-year-olds had prevented 20,000 cases of bowel cancer over the past 10 years.
