Study links teen anxiety, depression to heart attacks in mid-life
34k men with non-psychotic mental disorders analysed&nbsp;
Mental disorders often go with by poor stress resilience, lack of exercise
Findings&nbsp;published in the&nbsp;European Society of Cardiology
Children with poorer wellbeing could benefit from added support

Raising an alarm for parents of young kids all over the world, new research warns that&nbsp;depression or anxiety in adolescence is connected to a 20% greater likelihood of having a heart attack mid-life.
The study included 238,000 men&nbsp;born between 1952 and 1956, more than 34,000 of which&nbsp;were diagnosed with a non-psychotic mental disorder.&nbsp;
The study found that a mental disorder in adolescence can often be accompanied by&nbsp;poorer stress resilience and lower physical activeness, which may partly explain the link with heart problems later in life.
Publishing their findings in the&nbsp;European Society of Cardiology, an author from the study said this information is relevant for all youngsters, but 'those with poorer wellbeing could benefit from additional support to encourage exercise and to develop strategies to deal with stress.'&nbsp;

Optimistic people live longer, science proves it 

Optimism could be the key to a longer life. A new study by researchers from the&nbsp;Boston University School of Medicine reveals that those people who view the glass as half full, have a greater chance of reaching 85 years and older. New interventions like meditation and other psychological&nbsp;programs that foster optimism should be encouraged, say experts. People with an optimistic outlook find it easier to control their emotions according to the study and are thus able to control the affects of stress.&nbsp;

A Gallup survey of over a thousand participants from 116 countries shows that nearly 72 per cent of people would choose a calm life over an exciting one.  

Do most people prefer a calm or an exciting life? The answer might surprise you!

A Gallup survey of over a thousand participants&nbsp;from 116 countries&nbsp;shows that nearly 72 per cent of&nbsp;people&nbsp;would choose a calm life over an exciting one.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Fast cars, city lights&nbsp;and&nbsp;nights out about town may not be as dreamy for many as Hollywood films&nbsp;would have you believe!&nbsp;&nbsp;
A Gallup survey of over a thousand participants&nbsp;from 116 countries&nbsp;shows that nearly 72 per cent of&nbsp;people&nbsp;would choose a calm life over an exciting one.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The&nbsp;yearning for calmness and inner peace was most pronounced in East Asia with 85 per cent picking&nbsp;tranquil vibes&nbsp;over excitement, followed by 82&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;in Latin America,&nbsp;75&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;U.S. and Canada&nbsp;and,&nbsp;73 per cent&nbsp;in&nbsp;Australia and New Zealand.&nbsp;While&nbsp;Eastern and Western Europe stood&nbsp;at 71 per cent and 68 per cent respectively.&nbsp;

Interestingly, Indians and South Asians, in general, were not as inclined towards calmness with only 56 per cent preferring&nbsp;tranquillity&nbsp;over excitement.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The findings may come as a surprise to some as a penchant for calm is generally associated&nbsp;with Eastern cultures.&nbsp;But the survey done&nbsp;in partnership with&nbsp;the Wellbeing for Planet Earth (WPE) Foundation&nbsp;proves that&nbsp;at least in 2020, people across the world were seeking&nbsp;a life of calm.&nbsp;
The researchers say the pandemic might have skewed preferences. Faced with unprecedented stress and&nbsp;uncertainty, the&nbsp;notion&nbsp;of going out and trying exciting things poses&nbsp;too much risk for most, at least for now.

Observed on 10th October each year, World Mental Health Day aims at making mental health care for all a reality.&nbsp;

World Mental Health Day 2021: When faced with the&nbsp;uncertainty of a pandemic, fear and anxiety are quick to follow as a normal human response.

Peak sadness: India's happiness levels drop significantly 

If you've been feeling gloomier than you've ever felt before, data from happiness studies suggests&nbsp;you're not alone!&nbsp;

Feeling a bit too gloomy lately? You're not alone!&nbsp;
MDI&nbsp;prof&nbsp;releases a ranking of happiest states in India&nbsp;
Maha, Delhi, Haryana&nbsp;worst affected by Covid-19
Mizoram&nbsp;and Punjab report the jolliest mood&nbsp;
Global report reveals India dropped 15 points in global index
India facing one of the steepest decline in happiness since 2013
Pandemic anxiety, job insecurity &amp; exhaustion could be to blame&nbsp;

If you've been feeling a notch gloomier than you've ever felt before, you're not alone.
A recently released India-specific happiness&nbsp;study has found that we, as a nation, are sadder than we've ever been.
The report, released by MDI&nbsp;Gurgaon's&nbsp;Professor Rajesh K Pillania, ranks all 36 states and Union Territories on the basis of their happiness quotient. According to Pillania's&nbsp;findings,&nbsp;Maharashtra, Delhi and Haryana&nbsp;are the worst affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, with Mizoram and Punjab reporting the jolliest mood.
Echoing a similar sentiment, a global happiness report released in February revealed that India&nbsp;dropped 15 points in the index ranking of global countries in just one year.
The same report also noted that India is one of the five countries facing the steepest decline in happiness since the year 2013.
While none of the reports establishes the key contributor in this decline, a mixture of pandemic anxiety, dwindling job&nbsp;security and over exhaustion from an increase in workload could be some of the factors to blame.

Nearly 60% Indians find no joy in doing anything these days: survey

At least 43% of&nbsp;Indians plagued by depression right now&nbsp;
Over 59% finds little joy in doing anything on some days&nbsp;
57% of Indians feel tired or low on energy on most days&nbsp;
Uncertain feelings causing many to oversleep or not sleep at all

Even as everything seems to be reopening, the pandemic feels nowhere close to ending. The crumbling economic and medical sector has also had a deep impact on our mental health. Confirming the same, a survey by&nbsp;GOQii &mdash; a preventive healthcare ecosystem, has found that at least 43 per cent of people in India are currently facing the brunt of depression.&nbsp;
Studying the impact on 10,000 Indians, the survey found&nbsp;more than 59 per cent of the population is finding little pleasure in doing things these days and 12 per cent feels this way every day. The survey also reports that 57 per cent of people feel as though they have no energy or are very tired on some days.&nbsp;
This has lead to some people oversleeping with many others unable to sleep at all. The survey's findings suggest that the common uncertainty has lead to a high-stress situation.

Difficulties at home, loss of freedom, uncertain feelings attributed

College students have come out to be the worst affected mentally by the coronavirus&nbsp;pandemic and related lockdowns, finds a new study conducted by online mental health platform YourDost.&nbsp;
Involving nearly 8,000 individuals, the study compared data collected at the beginning of the lockdown versus data collected at the onset of Unlock 1.0.
'Students registered 41 per cent increase in emotions of anxiety or fear, 54 per cent increase in anger or frustration and 38 per cent increase in the feeling of loneliness/boredom,' the study noted.
At the beginning of Covid-19 restrictions, student respondents registered a one per cent increase in happiness but the feeling of joy went down by 15 per cent as the lockdown progressed.
The study has attributed these dips to difficulties at home, loss of freedom and an uncertain feeling of 'what's next?'&nbsp;
