Research shows that inconsistent activity and light exposure patterns may contribute to depression risk. People with more stable daily routines had fewer depressive symptoms.
A new study reveals that people with bipolar disorder are at a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, with higher obesity rates, inflammation markers, and poorer fitness levels.
Feeling drained all the time? You’re not alone. Many adults struggle with exhaustion, but the causes go beyond lack of sleep. Your diet and lifestyle choices may be at fault.
Researchers have developed an AI that accurately predicts mental health risks in adolescents before crises emerge. By identifying root causes like sleep issues, the model offers potential for early intervention and wider access to care.
New research suggests that content warnings may unintentionally diminish appreciation of visual art while amplifying negative emotions.
A study on young Chinese women found that higher self-acceptance reduces the risk of problematic pornography use.
Scientists found that air pollutants trigger a chemical change (S-nitrosylation) in a vital brain protein (CRTC1), disrupting memory-related gene activity. Blocking this process partially restored memory in Alzheimer’s mice and could lead to new treatments.
Scientists have made a disturbing discovery: human brains contain microplastics, and at higher concentrations than other organs. Worse, brain levels have jumped 50% in just eight years.
Hours spent on video calls have fueled a new form of self-criticism, known as Zoom dysmorphia. A study finds that students with higher self-efficacy are less likely to experience it.
A recent study found that socially anxious individuals exert less effort for others when gaining rewards but show no difference from low-anxiety individuals when preventing losses
A five-day repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation treatment targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex reduced smoking cravings and restructured brain networks in individuals with tobacco use disorder.
A study found that while creativity was not directly linked to loneliness, children with better Theory of Mind abilities felt slightly less lonely. Creativity may indirectly reduce loneliness by enhancing social understanding.
New research uncovers how shared genes contribute to various psychiatric disorders. This breakthrough highlights the importance of pleiotropic genes—those affecting multiple conditions—and offers new avenues for mental health treatment development.
Using a new brain mapping method, researchers found that specific memory cells in the hippocampus are highly susceptible to protein buildup linked to Alzheimer's disease, while other brain cells are more resistant.
Adolescents who experience high loneliness are more likely to develop PTSD, depression, and stress-related conditions in adulthood.
