America Has Reached Peak Therapy. Why Is Our Mental Health Getting Worse?
The U.S. has reached peak therapy. Counseling has become fodder for hit books, podcasts, and movies. Professional athletes, celebrities, and politicians routinely go public with their mental health struggles. And everyone is talking—correctly or not—in the language of therapy, peppering conversations with references to gaslighting, toxic people, and boundaries.
All this mainstream awareness is reflected in the data too: by the latest federal estimates, about one in eight U.S. adults now takes an antidepressant and one in five has recently received some kind of mental-health care, an increase of almost 15 mil...

Believing Myths About Aging Makes Growing Old Worse
In this study, a positive mindset toward aging—meaning, “I’m excited about the possibilities in the second half of my life, and I believe my best days are ahead of me”—translated into an extra eight years of healthy longevity. Nor is this just a one-off result. This finding shows up again and again, and is now one of the most well-established facts in the field.
The implications? Changing your mindset toward aging has as much impact on longevity as quitting smoking, and more impact than losing weight, even if you’re obese.
And this matters—a lot.

There ’s Now An Oral Treatment for Postpartum Depression
Treating depression is complex and time-consuming, since matching patients to the right drug treatment is a matter of trial and error that can take weeks or even months. And post partum depression, which affects up to 20% of new mothers in the first six weeks after giving birth, is no different.
On August 4, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved zuranolone, or Zurzuvae, for treating postpartum depression. The drug, developed by Massachusetts-based biotechs Sage Therapeutics and Biogen, is a pill that women take once a day for 14 days and is the first oral treatment for the major depressive condition.
