This article discusses Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s skepticism toward antidepressants for adolescents. According to the author, the unfounded claims Kennedy makes may result in fewer people having access to addiction treatment and mental health care. As a result of previous fear-driven messages about antidepressants, doctor visits and depression diagnoses declined dangerously.

“Kennedy’s antidepressant rhetoric is not only based on bad science, it fuels distrust in mental health treatments” in the midst of a crisis for adolescents, experts write.

Approximately one in three Americans (38%) say they plan to make a mental health-related New Year's resolution in 2026, according to new findings from the American Psychiatric Association. Compared to last year, this is an increase of 5%. Younger adults (58%) are significantly more likely to plan a mental health resolution than older adults (32% of 45-64-year-olds; 11% of those 65 and older).

“It is encouraging to see more individuals planning to prioritize their mental health in 2026, particularly younger adults,” said APA President Theresa M. Miskimen Rivera, M.D. “The strategies people are embracing—such as regular physical activity, mindfulness practices, adequate sleep, time in nature, and engaging in therapy—reflect a growing recognition that mental health is deeply connected to daily habits. Even small, intentional changes can have a meaningful and lasting impact on overall well-being.”

In January, sometimes it is best to lower the stakes and allow for change to take place more gently.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is a biological and neurological reaction to winter. Besides light therapy, radical acceptance, behavioral activation, nutritional support, micro-routines, social connection, and cognitive hygiene, our most recent article suggests several strategies to support your mental health during winter.

In a recent Gallup survey, a record low proportion of Americans rated their mental health as good or excellent. This decline has been attributed to a variety of factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic, political uncertainty, and economic stress. Despite this, they note that more people might acknowledge their mental health struggles due to increased cultural openness.

Drop is cause for public health concern, but news isn’t all bad as acknowledging struggles is ‘a good sign’, experts say
