Major mental disorders cost the United States at least $193 billion annually in lost earnings alone, according to a new study funded by the National Institutes of Health's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). "Lost earning potential, costs associated with treating coexisting conditions, Social Security payments, homelessness and incarceration are just some of the indirect costs associated with mental illnesses that have been difficult to quantify," said NIMH Director Thomas R. Insel, M.D. "This study shows us that just one source of these indirect costs is staggeringly high." Direct costs associated with mental disorders like medication, clinic visits, and hospitalization, are relatively easy to quantify, but they reveal only a small portion of the economic burden these illnesses pl

In meditation, everything depends on thought.

MattThe Divine bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and he was known to the Kingdom fully well.When he said unto his father and his folk: What are these idols unto which ye pay devotion? They said: "We found our fathers worshippers of them."He said, "Indeed ye have been in manifest error - ye and your fathers."They said, "Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those who jest?"He said, "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He Who created

Despite often higher disability, mental illnesses are under-treated compared with physical illnesses in high-, low- and middle-income countries, a World Health Organization study has found. The aims of this 15-country study, published in the May issue of the British Journal of Psychiatry, were to establish the degree and type of disability, and level of treatment, of specific mental and physical disorders. The World Health Organization's World Mental Health Surveys were carried out in six countries classified by the World Bank as low- and middle-income (Colombia, Lebanon, People's Republic of China, South Africa, Ukraine) and nine as high-income (Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, the USA and New Zealand). The total sample size was 73,441, with individual count

Children who had a parent who died suddenly have three times the risk of depression than those with two living parents, along with an increased risk for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) according to a report in the May issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine. About 4 percent of children in Western countries experience the death of a parent, according to background information in the article. Parents who have psychiatric disorders, including mood disorders and substance abuse, are more likely to die from suicide, accidents and heart disease. The same psychiatric factors that increase parents' risk of sudden death also predispose their children to developing similar mental health problems. Nadine M.

The boundary between religious belief and mental illness is a fuzzy one. It is common for persons suffering from mental illness to have religious content in their delusions or obsessions, and this can be a complicating factor in effective diagnosis and treatment. Still, beliefs which may seem quite crazy to most of us are rarely sufficient for psychiatric diagnosis.Sam grew up in a small town in the Midwest and was raised in the same fundamentalist Protestant denomination of most of his neighbors. Faith was an important part of his life, not because he was particularly devout but because it was the context in which he grew up. His childhood was fairly ordinary, but he was never what his parents would consider a typical child. Sam was always much quieter and more introspective than his brot

Mental health problems in childhood blight adult working life, suggests research published in the journal Occupational and Environmental Medicine. And problems in working life are associated with mid life depression and anxiety. The findings are based on over 8000 participants of the 1958 Birth Cohort, all of whom were born during one week in March 1958, and whose health has subsequently been tracked. Their long term mental health was reviewed during childhood at the ages of 7, 11, and 16, using information from teachers and parents, and into adulthood at the ages of 23 and 33, based on personal interviews. At the age of 45 the participants were then invited to discuss their working lives and mental health. Living in rented accommodation, having a longstanding illness, no qualifications, a

For my mental health days, I have even in the past, skipped the exercise. That is changing though. From now on, I am not skipping on the exercise because somehow, I have done well lately and my runs aren’t killing me, I am feeling way more flexible and there is no way that I am stopping and possibly dealing with a setback now.
