Showing results for "The Twenty" in Psychology & Mental Health

Clinical psychology Dr Meg Jay sounds the alarm about a problem which has reached epidemic proportions: the over-prescription of antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs to young people who are in many cases going through normal developmental challenges. Psychologist, Dr Meg Jay makes the point that our twenties are the most challenging time of life and why over-medicating isn’t the answer to the mental health problems facing young people.

Whether addicted or not, we all have stories to tell. The stories of tragedy and redemption found within Tales of Addiction are not about the well known celebrities you find in the usual tabloids.

Interwoven throughout, Barbara and her son share their own story of pain and struggle.

The mice thrived at first. They bred, built social groups, and formed a functioning colony. Then everything fell apart. Males became violent without reason. Females abandoned their young.
