Finding Power in My Panic Attacks
Trouble started in the form of rivulets of sweat dampening the waistband of my underwear. It was a bluebird afternoon in Phoenix in December of 2020, mid 60s, desert dry, and my heart was jackhammering against my ribcage. Breathing felt like I was sucking air through a stir straw. A small ABC News crew was arrayed before me, ready to broadcast the report I’d written that day, but with my vision narrowed to a needle’s eye, I could barely see them. I tried to swallow away the sandiness in my mouth but realized I’d forgotten how.

The Aging Brain and Benefits of Exercise versus Increased Prevalence of Sedentary Lifestyle: Lessons Learned from Behavioral Economics on Irrational Decision Making
Thereis growing evidence for the benefits of exercise to the aging brain. Exercise promotes brain function, improves brain metabolism, cerebrovascular flow, and neuroplasticity. All these contribute to cognitive reserve and prevention of late life cognitive decline. Conversely, a sedentary lifestyle has been shown to increase all causes of mortality, double the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases which are significant risk factors to stroke and vascular cognitive decline. Inactivity also increases the risk for late life depression and anxiety.

Productive Aging During COVID-19 - Lessons from WH SeniorLink
According to the National Academies of Science, Medicine, and Engineering, even before the pandemic, 24% of Americans 65+ were considered socially isolated, and 43% of adults 60+ were lonely. Both experiences are associated with serious physical and mental health problems, including increased risks of dementia, stroke, depression, and suicidal ideation. As older adults engage in stricter social distancing to protect themselves from COVID-19, their risk of social isolation and loneliness is heightened.

The Difficulty Of Counting the COVID-19 Pandemic ’s Full Death Toll
Sara Wittner had seemingly gotten her life back under control. After a December relapse in her battle with drug addiction, the 32-year-old completed a 30-day detox program and started taking a monthly injection to block her cravings for opioids. She was engaged to be married, working for a local health advocacy group in Colorado, and counseling others about drug addiction.
Then the COVID-19 pandemic hit.
The virus knocked down all the supports she had carefully built around her: no more in-person Narcotics Anonymous meetings, no talks over coffee with trusted friends or her addiction recovery sponsor. As the virus stressed...

Five Ways To Improve Your Mental Health In 2020
(CNN) — It’s a difficult birth for this new decade. The year 2020 kicks off under the shadow of divisive politics, international security threats, a spate of hate crimes, and a planet in environmental peril, plus all the reasons we’re stressed individually: work, health problems, life changes and more.
No wonder so many of us are anxious or depressed.

11 Hospice and palliative care for advanced cardiac diseases in hong kong
Advanced cardiac diseases are common non-cancer conditions that require good palliative care. Palliative Care should embrace both cancer and non-cancer conditions, and is applicable early in the course of illness, in conjunction with other therapies. There is a high prevalence of symptoms and distress in heat failure (HF) necessitating palliative care, which include not just dyspnoea and oedema but also a range of other symptoms that are all sub-optimally controlled at the end of life.1
For patients with HF, palliative care attends to physical, psychological, social and spiritual distress, caring for both patients and fam...

7 Lessons Learned In The World Of Eldercare
I was ill prepared for my mother’s decline. She lived alone until she was 96 and refused to let me get her home health care help. My husband and I did everything we could so she could live comfortably at home.
And then she fell.
It wasn’t the first time, or the last time, but it was the fall that changed everything. Statistics show one fourth of Americans over 65 fall each year and the results can be devastating and life changing. Women, often with kids and lives of their own, become the primary caregivers and decision-makers when a parent has an accident.
My mom―so strong-minded, stubborn and commanding―co...

Latin American, Caribbean health systems need more investment as populations age
The health systems of six Latin American and Caribbean countries have made substantial progress toward universal coverage — providing free or subsidized healthcare to the majority of their populations — but continue to face challenges managing more complex health needs such as those related to cardiovascular disease, cancer, stroke and depression, a new study from the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health and the Inter-American Development Bank finds.
