Toxins in Wildfire Smoke May Make Their Way Into Brain - HealthDay News

THURSDAY, Dec. 9, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- The smoke from wildfires is dangerous for your lungs, but tiny particles from the smoke can also enter your brain and cause lifelong neurological issues, a new animal study suggests. Once that happens, the particles may put people at risk for everything from premature aging and various forms of dementia to depression and even psychosis, researchers say. "These are fires that are coming through small towns and they're burning up cars and houses," said Matthew Campen, a professor at the University of New Mexico's College of Pharmacy. Campen and his team conducted research last year at Laguna Pueblo, an area 41 miles west of Albuquerque and roughly 600 miles from the source of wildfires. They found that mice exposed to smoke-laden air for nearly three weeks under closely monitored conditions showed age-related changes in their brain tissue. Microplastics and metallic particles of iron, aluminum and magnesium in wildfire smoke so...

Bipolar disorder: When you're on top of the world - and the only way is down - The Telegraph

In February 2009, multi-millionaire businessman Paul Downes asked a film-maker to fly out to Jamaica to make a record of his search to find a wife. Paul, who has never married, had decided he wanted to settle down and have a family, so he had fliers distributed in the Ukraine where the women embodied all the attributes he was looking for in a life partner. He then arranged for a shortlist of 12 women to fly out and spend two weeks with him in the exclusive villa he had rented. Events did not go according to plan: unsurprisingly, choosing a wife was hampered (largely) by language problems, and the scheme ultimately cost Paul around $250,000. This bizarre story forms the centrepiece of a TV documentary to be shown next week, which looks at what is dubbed the '21st-century" disease – bipolar disorder. It is characterised by extreme mood swings, and during his exploits in Jamaica Paul was in the grip of a manic episode...

Auditory Hallucinations in Schizophrenia - Psychiatry Advisor

Auditory hallucinations, or "hearing voices," is one of the most prevalent symptoms of schizophrenia, reported by as many as 75% of patients. 1 It is also seen in other psychiatric conditions, such as bipolar and unipolar depression and personality disorders, as well as in nonclinical populations. Auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia are heterogenous in nature. According to Simon McCarthy-Jones, PhD, associate professor in the Department of Psychiatry at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, "Hearing voices is a varied experience. It can involve hearing single or multiple voices, whose identity the hearer may or may not know, who speak in turn or all at the same time, who may be saying new things or repeating what has been heard before, and who can give comments or commands, insults or encouragement. Most commonly though, people diagnosed with schizophrenia will hear multiple voices that are male, nasty, repetitive, commanding, and interactive, where ...

How non-industrial cultures view mental illness

Many abnormal behaviors that are considered by western psychologists to be mental illnesses that require treatment are seen in a much different and even positive light in non-industrial or "primitive" societies. Things like hearing voices, hallucinations, and other unconventional behaviors are seen as the start of a spiritual awakening. Many of these individuals go on to become spiritual leaders and shamans of their communities. Alan Watts and Terrence McKenna both commented on and were concerned about industrial definitions and treatment of mental illness. Culture is the arbiter of our conscious reality. To say that it influences how we think and act would be an understatement. For the non-inquisitive or complacent mind, it can set us into the inane doldrums of prefabricated patterns we take to be both our day-to-day reality and how we even view our own psyches and world around us. It comes as no surprise that it also has a significant effect on what we consider to be...

Behavioural activation to prevent depression and loneliness among socially isolated older people with long-term conditions: The BASIL COVID-19 pilot randomised controlled trial - PLoS Blogs

Abstract Background Older adults, including those with long-term conditions (LTCs), are vulnerable to social isolation. They are likely to have become more socially isolated during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, often due to advice to "shield" to protect them from infection. This places them at particular risk of depression and loneliness. There is a need for brief scalable psychosocial interventions to mitigate the psychological impacts of social isolation. Behavioural activation (BA) is a credible candidate intervention, but a trial is needed. Methods and findings We undertook an external pilot parallel randomised trial (ISRCTN94091479) designed to test recruitment, retention and engagement with, and the acceptability and preliminary effects of the intervention. Participants aged ≥65 years with 2 or more LTCs were recruited in primary care and randomised by computer and with concealed allocation between June and October 2020. BA was offere...
