Beyond my clinical practice with kids and adults over 50, I still do research. My latest publication shows that older adults who get an Alzheimer's diagnosis are at increased risk of su***de. That means we have to screen them at the time of their diagnosis and increase mental health support for them during this vulnerable time.

Introduction Older adults recently diagnosed with dementia face elevated short-term su***de risk, yet little is known about their ensuing contact with the health-care system prior to su***de. M**H...

On Father's Day, I know some of us have fathers who may be experiencing changes in memory and cognition. My wife joined a Brain Health registry. It's an online once-per-month assessment to study the patterns of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, PTSD and other neurological disorders. I am not involved in this study in any way but I think its a great way to participate in research and learn about brain health. Pass it on for those who can spare 90 minutes per month online.

Your participation will help speed up the discovery of treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, depression, PTSD, and other brain disorders.

It's hard to get enough of Anderson Cooper's series on grief. This one with Amanda Peet is powerful. It's comforting to see people sharing their grief stories.

‘All There Is’ with Anderson Cooper is more than a podcast - it’s a community. Join Anderson Cooper as he discusses grief with celebrity guests and hears your stories of loss.

This is the meditation app I like to recommend to clients. Simple, affordable and a narrator whose speech is calming without sounding feigned. (No, I am not an employee or shareholder). Mindfulness works. Meditation has been shown to have similar effects to antidepressant drugs.

500+ guided meditations, a Custom Meditation generator, and a free tier that actually works. No guru, no celebrity narrators, no auto-renew traps.

As part of our Mental Health Awareness Month series, we wrote a short piece about parents of kids with mental health issues. Parents should feel comfortable seeking their own mental health support when kids struggle. Feeling overwhelmed or unsure how to handle a child's mental health issues is common. Scheduling your own therapy sessions can help you cope emotionally while also giving you tools to help your child. Thank you, Dan Woog, for spreading the word on 06880.
