Should social media come with a warning? A top US health official suggested this week that platforms should have warnings similar to those on tobacco packaging. “The mental health crisis among young people is an emergency - and social media has emerged as an important contributor,” Dr Vivek Murthy, the US surgeon general or leading spokesperson on matters of public health, wrote in an editorial published in the New York Times. He also called on curbing the use of features that contribute to excessive use such as push notifications, autoplay, and infinite scroll. But could this actually help pe...

A study of schoolchildren in Italy found that children with autism and specific learning disorders have more trouble recognizing facial emotions compared to non-diagnosed children. In autistic children, higher social anxiety is associated with better emotion recognition, while in those with learning disorders, higher anxiety is associated with more difficulty recognizing emotions. The research was published in Development and Psychopathology. Being able to recognize the emotional state of another person by looking at his/her face is a crucial ability for social functioning. Many individuals ca...

LSD was accidentally discovered by Albert Hofmann at the Sandoz pharmaceutical company in Switzerland in 1938. It was apparently useless, but from 1947 it was marketed as “a cure for everything from schizophrenia to criminal behavior, ‘sexual perversions’, and alcoholism”. It failed to find its niche. Now, over 80 years later, it may finally have found one – other than expanding consciousness, that is. A new study shows that it is highly effective at treating generalised anxiety disorder for up to 12 weeks with just a single dose. And it is fast acting. General anxiety disorder (hereafter refe...

A recent study published in Psychiatry Research has found that going to bed late is associated with poorer mental health, regardless of whether individuals naturally prefer to stay up late or not. This finding suggests that late bedtimes come with psychological risks, even for those who are naturally inclined to be night owls. The human body’s internal clock, known as the circadian rhythm, plays a critical role in regulating sleep patterns. This circadian clock is located in the brain’s hypothalamus and influences various 24-hour behaviors, including sleep timing. People generally have differe...
