Although it is more colloquially known as the “Sunday Scaries,” psychologists refer to it as anticipatory anxiety.

Therapy is frequently portrayed in multicultural families as a last resort rather than as a proactive step toward better health. Stigmas are held together by silence, which is remarkably similar in many cultures where endurance, not openness, is equated with strength.

A stark reminder that stigma is a barrier just as strong as cost or accessibility is provided by studies showing that 60% of adults with mental health issues avoid care out of fear of being judged. In addition to structural obstacles like…

Teenagers and young adults are quickly adopting AI companions as digital confidants because of their immediate availability and reassuring tone. Over 70% of teenagers have used them at least once, frequently referring to them as friends or even best friends, according to Common Sense Media. A remarkably similar pattern to the early days of social media, when platforms promised connection but provided something much thinner, is reflected in this shift. These tools are incredibly helpful when anxiety is at its worst in the middle of the night, but as psychologist Vaile Wright points out, they can never fully replace the…

Due in part to the long-hidden illness that characterized his last years, Mark Stidham’s passing has evoked particularly strong feelings in both personal and professional circles.

Fans were unnerved by James Van Der Beek’s revelation that he had stage 3 colorectal cancer, not only because of his iconic role as Dawson Leery but also because he appeared to be in perfect health prior to his diagnosis. He publicly acknowledged in late 2024 that he had been fighting in secret since August 2023, with the help of his wife Kimberly and their six kids. His disclosure was not just about sickness; it turned into an unwavering story of fortitude, kinship, and public awareness. The actor first became aware of minor changes in his bowel habits, which he…

Often referred to as the stress hormone, cortisol is a chemical messenger that prepares us for emergencies but turns corrosive when it remains in the bloodstream for an extended period of time. Through habits that restore the body’s natural rhythms, therapy provides a way to slow down this hormonal overdrive without the use of medications or fast fixes. People can learn to control their emotions and thereby lower their cortisol levels by practicing guided breathing, the arts, or working with a qualified professional. The way that therapy operates at the nexus of mind and body is frequently highlighted by clinical…

Whether a CEO must balance business decisions or a parent must deal with countless household choices, the experience of decision fatigue is remarkably similar across all spheres of life. Our brains are working hard to figure out what to eat, which emails to respond to, and how to arrange our schedules as soon as we wake up. By evening, the mental stress becomes so great that it becomes impossible to choose what to watch on TV. This phenomenon, which is remarkably clear in its message—decision-making is like a muscle, and without rest, it falters—is described by therapists as a predictable…
