Mothers with history of mental health disorders feel less ready for discharge from NICU, research shows

Each year, more than 450,000 babies are born preterm in the U.S., many of whom spend days, weeks or even months in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Study could improve patients' abilities to manage symptoms of mental illness

Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States experience mental illness in a given year. Severe mental illnesses cause the brain to have trouble dealing with cognitively effortful states, like focusing attention over long periods of time, discriminating between two things that are difficult to tell apart, and responding quickly to information that is coming in fast.

Diagnostic criteria can improve diagnosis and management of functional cognitive disorder

Experts estimate up to one third of people attending specialist memory clinics could have a condition that is commonly mistaken for early dementia.

UNDP launches Global Water Solidarity Platform

The U.N. Development Programme (UNDP) recently launched the Global Water Solidarity Platform "at the World Water Forum in Marseille, France, where 20,000 participants from the private, public and non-profit sectors [met] to address the water crisis," according to a UNDP press release.
