☆ Why Some Seniors Are Choosing Pot Over Pills
  + stars: | 2023-11-16 | by ( Christina Caron | More About Christina Caron | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Seniors are one of the fastest-growing populations of cannabis users in the United States. In 2007, only about 0.4 percent of people age 65 and older in the United States had reported using cannabis in the past year, according to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. During the course of his illness, her husband, now 79, had developed insomnia. Doctors prescribed pills to help him rest, but “nothing really worked,” she said. At one point, he reacted so negatively to a medicine he ended up in the hospital.

☆ How an ‘Effort-Reward Imbalance’ Can Make Work Miserable
  + stars: | 2023-10-19 | by ( Christina Caron | More About Christina Caron | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
But studies have shown that humans are hard-wired to want their fair share, as are other animals that have cooperative relationships, like monkeys, birds and wolves. In one famous experiment, researchers trained two capuchin monkeys to hand them tokens in exchange for a cucumber snack. The other monkey, who continued to receive cucumbers, looked enraged, shook the walls of her enclosure and hurled the cucumbers out of reach. In the workplace, psychologists refer to this as effort-reward imbalance. In humans, the perception that you are getting less than others for the same amount of work can contribute to symptoms associated with burnout and lead to a higher risk of depression.

☆ The Beauty of a Silent Walk
  + stars: | 2023-09-23 | by ( Christina Caron | More About Christina Caron | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The silent walk is TikTok’s latest wellness obsession, a blend of meditation and exercise that aims to improve mental health. Unlike the similarly trendy “hot girl walk,” a four-mile odyssey that requires goal-setting and giving thanks, the silent walk does not involve multitasking. The fact that the silent walk is nothing new has attracted a chorus of critics; “Gen Z thinks it just invented walking,” they say. But silent walking feels relevant right now because many of us have become tethered to our devices, she added. The question then becomes: “How do we counteract that?” Ms. Lorre said.

☆ Can’t Sleep? Try This Proven Alternative to Medication.
  + stars: | 2023-08-28 | by ( Christina Caron | More About Christina Caron | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A recent poll from the National Sleep Foundation, for example, found a link between poor sleep health and depressive symptoms. In addition, studies have shown that a lack of sleep can lead otherwise healthy people to experience anxiety and distress. Fortunately, there is a well-studied and proven treatment for insomnia that generally works in eight sessions or less: cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia, or C.B.T.-I. Yet it is rarely the first thing people try, said Aric Prather, a sleep researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, who treats patients with insomnia. According to a 2020 survey from the Centers for Disease Control, more than 8 percent of adults reported taking sleep medication every day or most days to help them fall or stay asleep.

☆ As the School Year Begins, Families Struggle to Find A.D.H.D. Medication

In the spring, Riana Shaw Robinson learned that her 11-year-old son, Madison, had sprinted out of class to chase a squirrel through his school’s courtyard in Berkeley, Calif.It’s not how her sixth grader would typically behave. With Adderall, he was calmer and better able to focus. “He actually had a taste for what relief could look like,” Ms. Robinson said. But for nearly a year now the medication — Madison takes the generic version — has been difficult to find. He has had to skip doses, sometimes for up to two weeks, because nearby pharmacies have been out of stock.

☆ How to Feel Happier at Work When You Have the Urge to Quit

When Minda Harts was 35 and working as a fund-raiser, she was feeling increasingly frustrated. Her manager viewed her as a “utility player” who could be “put anywhere” and still get the job done. And a recent survey conducted by the Harris Poll on behalf of the American Psychological Association reported that about one-in-five workers say they work in a toxic workplace. Ms. Harts considered quitting, she said, but realized that wasn’t the optimal solution. Years later, when Ms. Harts finally did decide to leave, she used her new skills to start her own company.

☆ How to Discuss Pain With Your Doctor
  + stars: | 2023-07-25 | by ( Christina Caron | More About Christina Caron | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
The women had heard that IVF would be hard, but many of them were in shock at how painful the procedure was. “I was sweating profusely and telling them I was just in too much pain — they had to stop.”Their stories were featured on “The Retrievals,” a new podcast from Serial Productions and The New York Times. It chronicles what happened when about 200 women at a Yale fertility clinic underwent egg retrievals with insufficient pain relief because a nurse was stealing their pain medication, fentanyl, from the clinic and replacing it with saline. The fourth episode of the five-part series will be posted on Thursday. What these women experienced was unusual, but pain mismanagement at the hands of providers is pervasive.

☆ Is the New 988 Suicide Hotline Working?
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Christina Caron | More About Christina Caron | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
The three-digit dialing code for the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline became available in July of last year after receiving bipartisan support. Almost one million of those contacts were answered by Veterans Crisis Line, which is linked to 988. In fact, 988 does not currently use geolocation, so those who call the hotline remain anonymous unless they choose to disclose identifying information. But you don’t need to be in crisis or suicidal to call 988 and speak with a counselor. “It’s our hope that people will come to us before they are in a mental health crisis,” said Tia Dole, chief officer of the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at Vibrant Emotional Health, the New York-based nonprofit that manages the Lifeline for SAMHSA.

☆ Record a Win Every Day — and Other Ways to Practice Gratitude

Jancee Dunn is out this week. I’m Christina Caron, a reporter on the Well desk, filling in. Nowadays the practice of letter writing feels almost quaint, but when I examined the science behind gratitude in June, I learned that expressing it doesn’t need to be time-consuming. Cultivating a grateful outlook, and taking a few minutes a day to count our blessings, can also reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, increase self-esteem and improve life satisfaction. As one expert put it: “Gratitude seems to be the gift that keeps on giving.”In that spirit, we asked New York Times readers to tell us how they practice gratitude, and we received nearly 800 responses.
