Is it Selfish to Want to Be Happier?
By Nancy Montagna, Ph.D., & Robin Carnes, MBA

Every now and then, in the midst of the headlong thrust into the next thing on our schedule, we all take a deep breath and pause for a moment of reflection. Ahh...What comes up? If we are honest with ourselves it’s probably a familiar yearning: "I want to be happier. I want more out of life than this."

  A Perspective on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
By Elizabeth Horwin, LPC

I believe CBT is most effective in helping individuals who are bright, rational and desire to have passion and enjoyment in their life. It takes courage and a willingness to say, "Whatever happened to me before, I couldn’t do anything about it...it is as it is. But now I am responsible for how I react to what has happened to me, what is presently happening to me, and how I want to continue living my life."

May is National Mental Health Month
By Jim Weinstein, MBA, MFT

If you've never been to therapy before, you probably have some pre-conceived notions--as well as lots of questions--about what your first meeting with a therapist will be like. Because each client-therapist relationship is unique, it's pretty much impossible to describe in advance precisely what to expect. However, it's probably safe to say that your "first time" experience in therapy will hinge in great part on the four factors detailed in this article.

Re-imagining Irony
By Dr. Bradley Olson

I have been thinking about the powerful healing to be found in irony. This is a concept that, for differing reasons, we are all too unfamiliar with in our culture.

  Unemployment and Depression
When you’re in the throes of depression, it becomes harder to get another job, putting into play a cycle of defeat and despair that can only make your depression deepen. Instead of getting help for their symptoms of depression, too many too frequently try to make themselves feel better by "self medicating" with alcohol or drugs. This clearly makes things worse.

Mental Disorders Cost Society Billions in Unearned Income
Direct costs associated with mental disorders like medication, clinic visits, and hospitalization are relatively easy to quantify, but they reveal only a small portion of the economic burden these illnesses place on society. Indirect costs like lost earnings likely account for enormous expenses, but they are very difficult to define and estimate.

Maintenance Treatment Crucial for Teens’ Recovery from Depression
Long-term maintenance treatment is likely to sustain improvement and prevent recurrence among adolescents with major depression, according to an NIMH-funded study published in the April 2008 issue of the Archives of General Psychiatry.

Stress: Brain Yields Clues About Why Some Succumb While Others Prevail
Stress can play a major role in the development of several mental disorders, including post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. A key question in mental health research is: Why are some people resilient to stress, while others are not?

Drug Rehab Programs
Selecting a drug rehab for yourself or someone you care about may be one of the most important decisions you will make in your lifetime. Most of us don't know what to look for in a quality program. Not all drug rehab centers are the same--they differ greatly in program options, staff qualifications, credentials, cost, and effectiveness.
