In an overcrowded pop market, where artists are encouraged to maintain a constant presence and stream of what's depressingly termed product, south London singer-songwriter Joy Crookes's career has progressed in a curious series of fits and starts. After releasing a series of EPs, she ended 2019 as a hotly tipped act: appearances on Later With Jools Holland, nominated for the Brits Rising Star award, placed high in the BBC's Sound of 2020 poll, invited to support Harry Styles on tour.

That's why it's crucial to remember that FPL is a marathon, not a sprint - and even after the toughest gameweeks, there's always room to bounce back. As someone who loves psychology, I often apply it to my own FPL management. The truth is FPL can impact mental health if it stops being enjoyable or becomes the main outlet for stress.

Not all careers come with tight deadlines, loud offices, or high-stakes decisions.

A search is under way for a man with a history of mental health issues who allegedly rammed his car into a metal gate at an FBI field office in Pittsburgh early Wednesday in what the agency said it is treating as an act of terror against the FBI. Donald Henson, of Penn Hills, Pennsylvania, allegedly drove at high speed toward the main entrance gate at about 2.40am, said the FBI special agent in charge of the investigation, Christopher Giordano.

A coroner has called on military fitness to be "decoupled" from career progression within the Defence Forces because of the fear of personnel speaking out if they were experiencing physical or psychological health problems.

It is fundamentally wrong that so many LGBT+ people still face challenges when accessing healthcare, including barriers such as discrimination, misunderstanding and miseducation. The result is that LGBT+ patients face longer waits, have poorer experiences of health care and suffer from high rates of mental ill-health. This pilot marks a major step, acknowledging the unacceptable waits endured by thousands of transgender patients and starting to tackle it head on.

The first facility opened last week in Midtown Manhattan, with individual rooms, three balanced meals a day, and wraparound mental health services for up to 46 residents. It will be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by professionals from NYC Health + Hospitals, who will provide behavioral health services, medication management, and substance use disorder treatment, as well as regular social, therapeutic, and recreational opportunities.

"When I did a body composition test at 36, I had way more body fat than I expected," Cheema says. "That pushed me to change my workouts and eating patterns in ways that improved my health-something BMI alone wouldn't have prompted."

As human activities alter local-to-global environments, people are reporting stress, distress, depression, anxiety, worry, psychological trauma, and other negative emotions. Phrases coined to describe these responses include solastalgia, eco-anxiety, climate change anxiety, climate fear, and ecological grief. Scientifically, all these ideas are in their infancy. To improve understanding and to really get to the basics of how human beings respond to different environmental changes, researchers are developing scales and indices, some of which are clinical and some of which are not.

Please sit down, I begged my neighbour, who was leaning across the car gearstick, arm stretched around my headrest. My pleas for him to fasten his seatbelt were futile. Now he was jigging about, gesticulating wildly as he revealed his latest plans. He had told me before about the script he was writing for Gary Oldman. I hadn't thought too much of it, then all writers have to be a bit grandiose, I had reasoned, otherwise they wouldn't achieve anything.

Do you find yourself being harshly self-critical after you've made a mistake or failed to meet a personal goal? Familiar self-statements might be: "I can't seem to do anything right!" or "I'm just not talented enough." Maybe you falsely assume that you must be harsh with yourself in hopes of getting better results next time. What you might not know is that your self-criticism may be making it less likely that you'll succeed in the future.

This week, I had the pleasure of attending the Baltimore premiere of a new offbeat romcom, The Baltimorons. To put it plainly: The film is magic, the kind that can only happen when there's a deeply honest story being told over a backdrop that also, somehow, manages to tell its own story at the same time. Strassner and Larsen? Epic chemistry. Baltimore? Hardly a third wheel, but a star in its own right.

My dad can come in a room and be mad about something, but it doesn't change the dynamic or energy of the room. We don't internalize his feels. His feelings don't set the mood for of the room.

Itdeclares that if urban neighborhoods, mid-size and small communities, and rural areas worldwide organize local resilience networks that provide Mutual Support For All, the mental health, psychosocial, and many physical health issues generated by the C-E-B crisis can be prevented, when symptoms appear they can be healed, and people can find positive new sources of meaning, purpose, and healthy hope in life, and thrive.

In an era of permacrisis, what lifts your spirits? We're interested to hear from people about the small, everyday actions that have bought you joy when you've been feeling down. It could be starting a conversation with a stranger, taking a family walk, doing karaoke or spontaneous skinny dipping - the less expected, the better. Please include a sentence or two about why you were in a slump (perhaps it was after a bad break-up, or during a particularly stressful time at work?)

As human beings, each of us is at once perfect and a work in progress. As we grow and expand our knowledge and understanding of the world, we sometimes experience setbacks and failures. We sometimes make mistakes. Some of those mistakes, long after we have made them, loom large in our minds and persist in our thoughts, so much so that we are burdened with regret and remorse for the hurt and harm we have caused others.

Jamie Pearson was admitted to Blackpool Victoria hospital's A&E department after taking an overdose of high-strength painkillers on 17 August 2024. An inquest heard that Pearson should have been seen within four hours by mental health specialists but was deemed low risk and was still waiting 22 hours later when he killed himself in a toilet. His mother, Julie Knowles, previously told the Guardian her son was badly failed and let down by health professionals.

"I throw up every day before work now. When I hear his voice, I shake. I can't sleep, and I've lost weight. This job is killing me!" she cried. Kathy worked for a bullying boss whose recent tirades escalated to an unbearable level. The last straw for Kathy occurred when her boss stomped up behind her and slammed a large report binder on her desk, startling her.

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic -- Suspended Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco, who was found guilty earlier this year of sexually abusing a minor, was detained by police on Tuesday and admitted into a clinic in the Dominican Republic for mental health issues, according to authorities. The request to have him detained and admitted came from his family, police spokesman Col. Diego Pesqueira told The Associated Press. He noted that Franco's admittance into a private clinic in his hometown of Baní
