F or most of 2023, I’d put off having back surgery—hoping against all odds that cortisone injections, monthly doses of oral steroids, strengthening exercises, and using a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) unit might make the awful sciatica pain disappear. I had a number of major commitments that year that I needed my energy and strength for—my daughter’s July wedding being chief among them.

In the evolving landscape of healthcare, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful tool for diagnosing and treating complex medical conditions that have long perplexed even the most seasoned clinicians. Among these conditions, treatment-resistant depression (TRD) stands out as one of the most challenging.

T his is the story of Will, a young man who plunged into an extreme state following exposure to a synthetic street drug, which led to repeat psychiatric hospitalizations—and the effect on family members who supported him along the way. Told by his mother, Pamela, and his oldest brother, Joe, it’s also a story of resilience, loving commitment, and a push for change against a system riddled with discrimination and harms.

This is one of my favorite topics in my therapy practice, where hope can be used to generate an often needed flame from an ember; for individuals seeking personal growth or in a relationship where two people are looking for signs of life and encouragement to move forward together. Hope is the belief in one’s ability to achieve desired goals and the pathways to reach them.

I magine a campfire built with logs of wood in a pyramid with a tinder underneath it to get it going. You ignite the tinder and blow on it to encourage the flame to rise upward and catch hold of the larger pieces of wood. A log by itself does not catch the flame, but the simmering tinder is always there, burning like an ember ready to expand. Now imagine that happening inside your head.

I critiqued a paper that purported to show that Diagnostic and Statistical Manual criteria produce an impossibly large number of possible combinations and that this somehow invalidates their use. As a refresher, combinations are basically any pool of n elements combined k at a time. For example, in the case of major depression, the diagnosis requires at least 5 ( k 5) of 9 ( n =9) elements.

Lively do the shadows play Within the darkened lonely way Few dare tread along the deep Where hatreds children play with sleep Rage and laughter fill the day As hell must strangely melt away A heart long taught to never weep Now learns the bliss among the sheep Going off some of the Depakote, it seemed that the people around me did not seem to care about what was going on in my head.

I n mental health, a peer is someone who shares similar life experiences or challenges. These individuals have navigated mental health issues themselves and can provide a unique perspective and support to others on similar paths. Peer support, therefore, is a system where individuals with shared experiences offer guidance, empathy, and encouragement to one another.

I am more than a little fed up with unnecessary wars and deaths. My college days were defined largely by an unnecessary war in Vietnam. I was in the first reactivation of the military draft largely because nobody wanted to go off to Vietnam for no clear reason and fight a war. That first draft was a lottery system by birthday and my lottery number was 215.
