New research shows that ADHD symptoms and negative moods can peak during menstruation. The findings suggest that clinicians and patients may need to account for hormonal fluctuations when planning daily tasks or designing effective prescription treatment regimens.

New research in the Journal of Affective Disorders provides evidence that children with chronic illnesses face a significantly higher risk of depression. This suggests a strong need to combine physical and mental healthcare for young patients.

Research following nearly 6,000 parent-adolescent pairs over three years found that strong parental mental well-being is tied to higher physical activity and lower digital media use in teens, highlighting the family dynamics behind healthy youth behaviors.

A new study suggests that deeply ingrained negative beliefs formed in childhood play an important role in how borderline personality traits manifest in people with bipolar disorder.

By growing miniature brain models from patient cells, researchers have identified distinct electrical activity patterns linked to various autism profiles. This approach offers a personalized way to study the unique biological roots of neurodevelopmental conditions.

New research indicates that the written language of people with schizophrenia corresponds to their specific symptom profiles. Analyzing how these individuals summarize a story reveals distinct writing patterns associated with predominantly positive or negative symptoms.

Changing the types of fat in your diet might help preserve cognitive health as you age. A new cohort study links substituting saturated animal fats with plant-based vegetable oils to a lower risk of developing dementia.

New findings suggest that severe menstrual pain impacts occupational performance. Women with intense cramps reported lower satisfaction with their daily lives, alongside measurable drops in attention and processing speed during the days leading up to menstruation.

Is the psychological benefit of nature a universal human trait or just a Western luxury? A sweeping new study of nearly 37,000 people across 75 countries reveals that feeling connected to the natural world improves well-being globally.

Scientists have discovered that a person's genetic blueprint can hint at how severe their depression might become. High genetic risk is closely linked to lower life satisfaction and a greater likelihood of needing inpatient hospital care.

Analyzing your own thoughts might seem healthy, but a new review shows that deep introspection is actually associated with higher levels of depression and anxiety, rather than boosting life satisfaction or overall well-being.

Researchers found that daily doses of CBD oil may ease anxiety and improve certain social behaviors in autistic children. The preliminary trial also reports a noticeable drop in the daily stress experienced by their parents.
