Depression isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither is treatment. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment option that utilizes gentle magnetic pulses to support brain health and improve mood. For many, it has been a life-changing experience.

These Depression Supplements May Work, Large Review Finds A new review of research on 64 herbal remedies and dietary supplements for depression found ‘substantive’ evidence that only 4 may improve symptoms.

Many people turn to supplements before seeking help for depression. St. John’s wort, saffron, probiotics, and vitamin D may help—but start one at a time and tell your doctor. More in my Everyday Health interview: https://bit.ly/4om2QyW #MentalHealth #DepressionCare

Factors Impacting Mobile Health Adoption for Depression Care and Support by Adolescent Mothers in Nigeria: Preliminary Focus Group Study Background: Mobile health (mHealth), the use of mobile technology in health care, is increasingly being used for mental health service delivery even in low- and middle-income countries to scale up treatment, and a variety of evidence supports their potential in different populations. Objective: This study aims to use the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) as a lens to explain knowledge of mHealth use for mental health care, personal behavioral capabilities, and the external social contexts that can impact the adoption of an mHealth app for depression care among perinatal adolescents in Nigeria. Methods: At the preliminary stage of a user-centered design (UCD), 4 focus group discussions were conducted among 39 participants: 19 perinatal adolescents with a history of depression and 20 primary care providers. Guided by the SCT, a popular model used for predicting and explaining health behaviors, we documented participants’ knowledge of mHealth use for health purposes, advantages, and challenges to the adoption of an mHealth app by young mothers, and approaches to mitigate challenges. Data collection and analysis was an iterative process until saturation of all topic areas was reached. Results: The mean age for young mothers was 17.3 (SD 0.9) years and 48 (SD 5.8) years for care providers. Mistrust from relatives on mobile phone use for therapeutic purposes, avoidance of clinic appointments, and sharing of application contents with friends were some challenges to adoption identified in the study population. Supportive personal factors and expressions of self-efficacy on mobile app use were found to be insufficient for adoption. This is because there are social complications and disapprovals that come along with getting pregnant at a young age. Adequate engagement of parents, guardians, and partners on mHealth solutions by care providers was identified as necessary to the uptake of digital tools for mental health care in this population. Conclusions: The SCT guided the interpretations of the study findings. Young mothers expressed excitement at the use of mHealth technology to manage perinatal depression. Real-life challenges, however, need to be attended to for successful implementation of such interventions. Communications between care providers and patients’ relatives on the therapeutic use of mHealth are vital to the success of a mHealth mental health management plan for depression in young mothers in Nigeria.
