Paul’s unhealthy substance use
<lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs…>
began in high school and intensified during his Navy service, eventually
costing him his marriage and friends. Read how mental health treatment
<lnks.gd/l/eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIs…>
helped him reconnect with his hobbies, such as golf, and remain grounded
and better channel his emotions. “The thing about golf,” Paul says, “is
that we feel every single aspect. There’s success. There’s failure.
There’s frustration. There’s anger. I put everything I have into it.”

About the Topic

The prevalence of nightmare disorder in the general population is 5%.
Nightmares are typically characterized as idiopathic (i.e., from an
unknown cause) or trauma-related (i.e., beginning or changing in
frequency, severity, or content after a traumatic event). Nightmares are
reported by 30% of trauma-exposed civilians, 50% of trauma-exposed
veterans, and 30-40% of active duty military personnel and members of
the National Guard. Among individuals diagnosed with PTSD, nightmare
rates are higher and are reported by 57% of civilians with PTSD and
50-70% of active duty service members with PTSD. A variety of cognitive
behavioral interventions show promise for the treatment of nightmares
and also improve insomnia, PTSD, and depression. There is a wide range
of names for the various treatments tested in randomized controlled
trials, which creates challenges in comparing treatment efficacy by
protocol in systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Furthermore, there are
not enough providers trained in CBT-N. This presentation will bridge the
gap by summarizing data regarding the definition and prevalence of
nightmares, providing an overview of CBT-N protocols, describing
research of the efficacy of CBT-N in PTSD, and describing a newly
developed, DoD funded, web-based provider training for CBT-N.

TITLE: Brain scanning approach shows wiring of depression

URL: sciencedaily.com/releases/2024…

By repeatedly scanning the brains of a small group of patients for a year and a half, researchers have identified a distinct pattern of neuronal interactions that appears to predispose some people to developing depression.
