Although the therapies appeared to be effective at the time, most of the teenagers who were treated had relapsed within a few years. Just 22 per cent were still free of their anxiety or depression, researchers from Connecticut University's School of Medicine discovered.

They checked on the progress of 319 teenagers who had been treated for three months either with the SSRI antidepressant Lustral (sertraline) or CBT. Both are established and proven treatments for anxiety and depression, the researchers emphasised.

Aside from all the other health risks, processed foods also affect your ability to concentrate. And the effects can be even worse if you already suffer from a leaky gut.

The EU had planned to ban from sale all CBD products for at least 18 months while their safety was evaluated. The products fell into the EU's 'novel foods' category, which includes supplements and therapeutic remedies that have been used only since 1997 and their safety hasn't been properly tested.

The attacks have produced symptoms remarkably similar to the effects of pulsed radiofrequency and microwave electromagnetic (RF/MW) radiation, which are emitted by cell phones, wi-fi networks and microwave ovens, says one of the world's leading experts.

Studies that have deemed the devices to be safe are usually paid for by manufacturers, says Beatrice Golomb, professor of medicine at the University of California's San Diego School of Medicine.

Depression, anxiety and PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) are not illnesses; instead they are natural responses to adversity, as suggested by the fact that one in five people in war-torn countries are depressed compared with just one in 14 in countries not in conflict.

Those who still feel stressed and anxious the following morning seem to be the ones who damage their immune systems, say researchers from the University of California at Irvine.

The additives—and specifically CMC and P80—cause inflammation in our gut that impacts on the brain, causing behavioural problems, say researchers at Georgia State University in the US.

Those two hours don't have to be from one visit, it can be spread over the week, and you'll still get similar health benefits, say researchers from the University of Exeter who looked at the health and lifestyles of around 20,000 people.

A high-fat diet changes the bacteria in the gut and makes you more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety as a result.

Researchers started investigating a possible link after noticing that obese people with type 2 diabetes were more likely to suffer from acute depression. While anyone can be depressed, the diabetic seems to feel it more keenly.

When laboratory mice are fed a high-fat diet, they become more erratic, and show signs of depression, anxiety and obsessive behaviour, say researchers from Harvard Medical School.

Dog owners on average have better cholesterol profiles, lower blood pressure, aren't overweight and are more physically active. And pretty much all of that is down to having to walk the dog several times a day.

It may be hard to believe that by taking a probiotic like kefir, you can alter the composition of your gut bacteria in a way that positively affects your mood and brain function, while also resolving your irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). But a massive wave of research into the brain-gut axis has shown exactly that.

Kefir—a fermented product similar to liquid yogurt—has been around for millennia, but today it's poised to become a major player in a new frontier in neuroscience because of its actions as a 'psychobiotic.' This is a new term for a combination of live organisms that, when ingested in adequate amounts, produce mental health benefits.

While it's been known for over a century that bacteria can have positive effects on our physical health, it's only in the last 10-15 years that studies have shown there's a connection between the gut, the bacteria in the gut and the brain.

People having a transfusion are likely to also get a shot of caffeine and a variety of prescription drugs.

It had the same anxiety-reducing effects as standard sedative medication—and the drug also can cause side effects like breathing problems, hostility and agitation, say researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.

Music therapy can play a key role in helping someone survive a heart attack, say researchers from the University of Belgrade School of Medicine. As well as helping prevent a second attack by 23 percent, it reduces the rate of heart failure by 18 percent, lowers the risk of coronary artery bypass surgery by 20 percent, and lessens the chances of cardiac death by 16 percent.

Users run a 'significant risk' of developing one of these conditions compared to non-smokers; e-cigarette smokers are 56 per cent more likely to have a heart attack and have a 30 per cent greater chance of suffering a stroke.

They are also 44 per cent more likely to suffer circulatory problems, including blood clots, and the chances of depression, anxiety and other emotional problems double, say researchers at the University of Kansas School of Medicine.

The PSA (prostate-specific antigen) is a simple blood test that men over the age of 50 are invited to have—but plans to make it a routine test for all over-50s will probably be shelved following the damning review from the University of Bristol, funded by Cancer Research.

Resveratrol blocks stress signals in the brain, and it could also help other neurological disorders such as depression and anxiety.
