- A preliminary study suggests a connection between teen music and depression. It might not be that teen music triggers depression as it could mean that depressed teens turn to music to help them cope.

- Low levels of household income are associated with several lifetime mental disorders and suicide attempts, and a decrease in income is associated with a higher risk for anxiety, substance use, and mood disorders.
- Areas of the brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease may start shrinking up to a decade before dementia is diagnosed
- Soaring numbers of kids are getting CT scans in emergency rooms, a study found, raising concerns some may be exposed to adult-sized radiation doses and potential risks for cancer down the road.

We love playing the archetypal role of the rescuer especially when we should be taking our own advice. Besides, when we feel stressed, giving someone else advice serves as a distraction from our own problems. It’s like starring in our own dramatic Reality TV show.
