Psychology & Psychiatry Topic
Friends with Negatives
When you meet someone for the first time, it's only natural to assume that you'd like to put your best foot forward and leave a positive first impression. You might choose to do this by touching upon topics like your favorite music and movies. You might, if this goes well, move on to more profound territory and discuss your favorite philosophers. If this seems promising and you're looking to initiate a friendship or relationship with this other person, you might even use this early conversation to drop such hints as your favorite places to eat or your local watering hole where you might like to invite them to further discuss what Kantian critiques might mean for quantum physics.
Fatty Acids and Suicide Risk
Omega-3 fatty acids have long been associated with improved cardiovascular health. More recently, these polyunsaturated fatty acids, including docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), have been identified as essential to mental health as well. Specifically, a new study of military personnel published by the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry concludes that low levels of DHA are associated with an increased suicide risk.
Behind the Masks – The Mysteries of Dissociative Identity Disorder

A recent survey of mental health care reported that the decrease in bed space leads to more involuntary admissions for mental health care.
