New Study Asks: Are Women More at Risk of Depression Genetically? 6000+ Female-Only DNA Markers Say Yes
Depression has long been viewed through the lens of circumstance—stress, trauma, hormonal shifts, and social roles. But a groundbreaking genetic study published in Nature Communications has added a new layer to the conversation: women may carry a higher genetic risk than men. This revelation reframes how we understand mental health in women, not as a failure of strength or spirit, but as a biological reality written into the genome.

Sleep Talking: Somniloquy
The Night Your Mouth Betrayed You Let’s be honest — few things are more terrifying than waking up to your partner whispering sweet nothings in their sleep… except when the sweet nothing is your name — and you’re not the one they’re dreaming about.

Healing and Recovery Through Art
For centuries, some of the most famous artists have been victims of trauma and violence—especially childhood ones. While I am of the firm opinion that no human should ever be traumatized by another human being, there is no denying: Trauma, tragedy, sadness, and mental anguish are beautiful muses. These horrifying things have been the muse of many a famous artist throughout history.

Vultures
We are like the vulture. We come into the death of the world, allow the suffering of those struggling to ensue, and after the process of death is complete, we transmute the energy of that suffering. We have had our own suffering and have dove deep into the depths within ourselves so that we could be among the first of the collective to conquer pain that many have tried to avoid.

The Daily Crime Against Your Own Brain
Feed your brain junk long enough and it starts acting like a suspect under pressure—fidgety, unreliable, and ready to snap. That isn’t poetry. It’s what shows up in psychological evaluations, probation reports, and medical charts across professions and age groups.

Riding the Middle Wave
Ever notice how people love to pick sides? It’s like we’re constantly asked to choose between two waves: you're either riding left or right, red or blue, good or bad. But here's the thing—life doesn’t work in black and white. It's mostly paddling through gray. And that’s where the trouble starts when we fall into a sneaky little brain trap called dichotomous thinking.

One Rainy Receipt
One Rainy Receipt The rain had been falling since morning — a slow, steady drizzle that made everything look blurred, softened, and somehow lonelier. Maya sat by the window, her fingers wrapped around a cup of now-cold coffee. The scent of rain mixed with the faint bitterness of espresso, and she thought about how silence had its own kind of noise — the quiet hum that fills the space when someone is gone.

Keeping the Mind Young: Science-Backed Ways to Slow Brain Ageing
As we age, we often expect wrinkles, weaker bones, or slower movement — but what truly worries most people is the ageing of the mind. Forgetting names, losing focus, or feeling mentally fatigued can be frightening signs that our brain is changing. Yet, science is uncovering hopeful news: the brain is not a machine doomed to wear out. It’s a living, adaptable organ capable of renewal, repair, and growth at any age — if we give it the right conditions.

The Only Thing I Remember About School.
Most people I know can recall both happy and bad times at school. I recently discussed this with a friend who smiled as she told me about her favourite playground games, passing her exams, friends, boyfriends, lessons, and her most enjoyable pursuit of all time, chasing boyfriends. She also remembered getting into petty arguments in the playground and disagreements she had with teachers.

Your Body Definitely Keeps The Score . Top Story - October 2025.
That is one massive (albeit alarming) statistic. No wonder why we can all feel a bit f*cked up, or the world certainly does, if our garden has been watered accordingly, and all of the relevant weeds have been pulled out - metaphorically speaking of course. The author of the book by the same title (The Body Keeps The Score), Bessel van der Kolk paves the way for a grounding, heavy, eye opening yet awesome read into the human psyche; and (of course) trauma plays a significant role. All of our not so positive thoughts and setbacks to teach us lesson after lesson are all the epitome of trauma. This is why life can feel like smooth sailing for a small percentage of people; while for the majority of us, life is blighted with issue after issue, all thanks to the subconscious. (And that includes all of those circumstances in the opening image of this article.)

why getting what you want won`t make you happy. AI-Generated.
One of the hardest truths we all slowly realize is this: achieving the things we dream about rarely makes us truly happy. Sure, buying a car, getting a promotion, or moving abroad feels exciting at first—but that spark fades faster than we expect.
