          Timing of Prozac Treatment Shapes Lasting Mood, Brain Changes

          New research reveals that the developmental timing of fluoxetine (Prozac) treatment profoundly influences long-term mood and brain function. In a rodent model, early postnatal treatment in males led to persistent anxiety and depression-like behaviors, while adolescent treatment reduced these behaviors.

          Exercise Proven to Boost Kids’ Mental Health

          A massive analysis of over 375 trials shows that structured exercise significantly reduces depression and anxiety in children and teens. Low-intensity resistance activities like light weights were most effective for easing anxiety, while moderate mixed-mode programs worked best for depression—especially when lasting under 12 weeks.

          Lingering Brain Changes May Raise Depression Relapse Risk

          Even after symptoms subside, people who’ve experienced depression may retain a heightened sensitivity to punishment and negative feedback. A new study found that the brain's habenula—key to processing aversive signals—remains hyperactive in those with remitted depression, particularly during the anticipation of unpleasant outcomes.

          Autoimmune Disease Doubles Risk of Depression and Anxiety

          People living with autoimmune diseases face nearly twice the risk of developing persistent mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, according to a massive UK-based study. Researchers suggest chronic inflammation may play a key role in this connection, especially in women who showed significantly higher risk levels than men.

          A first-of-its-kind clinical trial shows that ketamine treatment for severe, treatment-resistant depression is significantly more effective when paired with psychotherapy and supportive environments. Patients who underwent this combined treatment reported a 30% drop in depression symptoms, with reduced anxiety and suicidal thoughts lasting at least eight weeks.

          Multiple Brain Profiles May Underlie the Same Depressive Symptoms

          A new study reveals that the same clinical signs of depression may stem from different brain profiles, highlighting both one-to-one and many-to-one brain-symptom mappings. Using brain imaging data from the UK Biobank, researchers found that even when patients experience similar symptoms, their underlying neurobiology may differ significantly.

          Childhood Emotion Struggles Linked to Teen Anxiety and Depression

          Children who have trouble managing their emotions at age seven are more likely to experience anxiety and depression during their teenage years, a new study finds. Researchers analyzed data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study, tracking emotional development and mental health from childhood to age 17.

          Experts urge healthcare providers to screen new fathers for mental distress, citing strong evidence that paternal mental health affects child development. Depression, anxiety, and stress in new dads are linked to poorer outcomes in children's emotional, cognitive, and social growth.

          ECT Cuts Suicide Risk by 34% in Severe Depression

          A new meta-analysis reveals that Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) reduces suicide risk by 34% and all-cause mortality by 30% in individuals with severe depression. The study, which pooled data from 26 high-quality studies, compared nearly 18,000 patients treated with ECT to over 25,000 who received standard care. ECT also modestly reduced suicidal thoughts, showing broader health benefits beyond mental health. While newer therapies like rTMS and VNS showed some promise, the evidence was too limited to draw firm conclusions.

          Negative Surroundings Skew Emotions in People with Depression

          People with depressive symptoms are more likely to interpret neutral images as negative when those images are surrounded by unrelated negative visuals. This emotional “spillover” effect shows how peripheral cues—like background imagery or context—can shape our emotional responses more than we realize.

          A large international study of over 21,000 identical twins has identified genetic variants that influence how individuals respond to life experiences, affecting traits such as anxiety, depression, and autistic traits. By analyzing genetic differences in identical twins, researchers discovered that certain genes make people more or less sensitive to environmental exposures.
