Taylor Swift Is Embracing the 5 Stages of Grief. Should You?
Call it the Five Stages of Grief (Taylor’s Version). Last week, ahead of the release of her album The Tortured Poets Department, Taylor Swift shared five new playlists that sort her old songs into stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. “These songs represent making room for more good in your life,” she says in a brief audio message accompanying the final playlist, acceptance. “Making that choice. Because a lot of time when we lose things, we gain things too.”

Mental health absences adding to NHS staffing crisis
NHS staffMore than three in ten (31%) NHS employees have had to take time off work with mental health issues in the past year, according to a UNISON survey published today (Sunday).
As the staffing crisis in the health service continues, the union says the findings – based on more than 12,000 health workers across the UK – show the effects of burnout among employees and mean many more could quit altogether.
Panic attacks, high blood pressure, chest pains and headaches are among physical signs of stress reported by nurses, porters, 999 call handlers and other NHS staff who completed the survey. Some also said they exper...

How to Stop Procrastinating at Bedtime and Actually Go to Sleep
Once I finally tuck my kids into bed, clean the kitchen, and shoot off my last work email of the night, it’s “me” time. It’s also, cruelly, bedtime. I know I should sleep, but instead I stay up way too late binge-watching Love Is Blind or mindlessly scrolling on Reddit. I need rest, but I push it off. This is my only uninterrupted time, and I want to maximize it.
This phenomenon is so universal that there’s a scientific name for it: “bedtime procrastination.” According to the researchers who coined it in a 2014 study, bedtime procrastination is “failing to go to bed at th...

The Anxiety You ’re Feeling Might Be Pandemic Grief
Despite a global pandemic that caused the deaths of millions of people and drastically altered our way of life, we still haven’t mastered the art of recognizing grief when it shows up.
Four years ago, life as we knew it slipped away. As news of the covid death tolls rose around the world, we watched footage on television of our front-line workers struggling with overcrowded hospitals, our children were sent home from school, weddings and graduations were canceled, jobs came to a halt, and toilet-paper flew off the shelves. Everywhere you turned someone was losing something or someone. But instead of grief rising t...

What are Some Causes of Acute Onset of Loss of Speech Abilities?
Discussion
Acute mental status changes are worrisome in the least and scary at their worst. Seizures, cerebrovascular problems and central nervous system tumor swirl in professionals’ heads as they take in the history, physical examination and start to evaluate and manage the problem. Usually respiratory distress is recognized by family members and treatment is also sought.
Another cause of loss of speech is selective (or elective) mutism (SM). The child does not speak at all or minimally. When speaking it is usually within a close group of individuals or in certain circumstances such as only speaking to a parent o...
