This year, our committee knew that we needed a speaker who could hold space for our students who are navigating grief and loss, experiencing emotional burnout and mental health crises and struggling to show up for themselves and for others,

Last August, Adam Thomas found himself wandering the dunes of Christmas Valley, Oregon, after a chatbot kept suggesting he mystically "follow the pattern" of his own consciousness. Thomas was running on very little sleep-he'd been talking to his chatbot around the clock for months by that point, asking it to help improve his life. Instead it sent him on empty assignments, like meandering the vacuous desert sprawl.

I tell you now, there is an attempt by some of the longer serving chief constables to get rid of me, says Ch Insp Andy George. I can guarantee I know exactly what they think of me: that I'm a wee upstart, so I am, that doesn't know my place, he adds with a smile. The eldest son of a Protestant mother from Armagh in Northern Ireland and a father who was born in Malaysia but served in the British army,

We've all been there: Someone asks if you're okay, and even though your world feels like it's crumbling, you manage a weak smile and say, "I'm just tired." It rolls off the tongue so easily, doesn't it? Like a reflex we've perfected over years of practice. I used to be the queen of this response. During my worst anxiety spirals in my twenties, when deadlines loomed and my chest felt tight,

A mysterious man, dressed as an FBI agent, showed up to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn in an apparent attempt to free Luigi Mangione, the man who has been charged with killing health insurance CEO Brian Thompson. As the Associated Press reports, the impostor was later identified as 36-year-old Mark Anderson, who has previously been arrested for drug possession and has disclosed ongoing mental health issues.

Born out of a realization that men are being promoted even as women are professionally regressing, the damning report highlights how it is mothers who are most likely to have lost or left their job since the onset of the pandemic. The project also found that those women who remain employed are more likely to work from home and shoulder a heavier burden of day-to-day tasks than their male colleagues.

The condition is the result of repeated traumatic brain injuries, which can happen repeatedly over the course of a football season. According to Dr. Daniel Daneshvar, a Harvard University professor and co-director of sports concussion at Mass General Brigham in Boston, CTE easily flies under the radar because it can only be diagnosed via brain analysis after a person's death.

For decades, tech companies have relied immensely on India's vast workforce, from entry-level call center jobs to software engineers and high-ranking managerial positions. But with the advent of advanced AI, which has been accompanied by employers greatly cutting back on hiring with the hopes of eventually automating tasks entirely, India's tech workers are having to cope with a vastly different reality in 2026.

Naked but for handcuffs, a waist restraint belt, and a towel to cover his modesty, a man waiting to be deported from the UK is carried by officers to his bed inside his new home the country's most notorious immigration detention centre. Days later, a resident with a history of mental health issues is restrained after smashing up the television in his room and boiling kettles of water in a bid to flood his sleeping area.

Depression remains one of the world's leading causes of disability, affecting more than 280 million people globally. Antidepressant medications and psychological therapy are the go-to treatments. But medications can be expensive and lead to side effects, and therapy is not accessible to everyone. Now, an updated systematic review published this month in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews finds exercise is equally effective at reducing symptoms of depression compared to medicine or talk therapy.

As a teenager, Davis was always striving to be thinner, obsessed with tracking calories and terrified to date or be intimate with anybody in case they commented on her body. Even going to the beach with friends was fraught. I'd wait for them to go into the ocean first, because I felt really insecure, she says. Some days I'd cancel and say I was sick.

French lawmakers have passed a bill that would ban social media use by under-15s, a move championed by president Emmanuel Macron as a way to protect children from excessive screen time. The lower national assembly adopted the text by a vote of 130 to 21 in a lengthy overnight session from Monday to Tuesday. It will now go to the Senate, France's upper house, ahead of becoming law.

Meta Platforms Inc., TikTok Inc., Snap Inc., and YouTube LLC appear unlikely to completely knock out a group of federal cases set for trial this summer that allege the platforms harmed the mental health of students and strained school resources. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers at a marathon hearing Monday in Oakland, Calif., federal court said the public school districts have provided a "reasonable articulation" of how social media features like SnapChat's "streaks" or Instagram's beautification image filter cause specific harm to students and schools.

It was always a matter of when, not if, Suella would defect. The Conservatives did all we could to look after Suella's mental health, but she was clearly very unhappy.

I just randomly started talking to this guy,

Maybe you're living with Crohn's, like I am. Maybe you've faced chronic migraines, cancer, autoimmune symptoms, depression, fatigue, or simply the exhaustion of carrying emotional pain for far too long. We hear so much about symptoms. We hear about flare-ups, inflammation, test results, treatment plans, diets, and what might be coming next. But rarely does anyone ask questions like: When was the last time you laughed? What's something that made you feel alive today?

Stephen Niese, of Flatbush, wore nothing but his swim trunks when he swam his usual 100 yards along the iconic coastline, where the blistering 36-degree water temperatures were paired with a 22-degree wind chill ahead of this weekend's snowstorm. "It's like a rush. You feel superhuman after you come out of the cold," Niese, 62, told The Post after what he called a relaxing dip.

But it's not there anymore, that's why I forgot about what it's called. And then after that, I was so eager and so hungry to come back to the winning column that I bolted into these two matches, I bolted into these two fights. And I think I lost not specifically because of lack of skills or not knowing how to crack these opponents, but because mentally I wasn't in the right place.
