July is BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to bring awareness to the unique mental health experiences and challenges people who have been historically marginalized face. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance is committed to meeting all people where they are with free educational materials, resources and support groups, no matter their background.

Because circadian rhythms—our body’s internal “clock”—can be thrown off by the amount of sunlight we experience, the more we get (and it’s certainly tempting to get as much as possible), the more likely we may be to skimp on sleep....

Patient Perspectives and the Promise of New Approaches. Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common but serious mood disorder with a rising prevalence in the US and around the world. Unfortunately, the current standard of care is often limited by a failure to achieve remission, residual symptoms, high likelihood of recurrence, and side effects.
