General Psychiatry Archives

Summary: Recent updates in general psychiatry cover a wide range of mental health topics. The American Psychiatric Association is updating the DSM to look closer at how mental health affects a person's daily life and quality of life. Experts are also studying how long space flights change brain structure and sleep. For women and teens, researchers are exploring the link between hormonal birth control and depression. Other studies look at why some young adults seek out specific diagnoses like ADHD, and the hidden mental health struggles people face after weight-loss surgery.
