6 common myths about mental health diseases you should Stop Believing

2025-07-05 - 2025-07

Mental health problems are rare
Many people still believe that mental health issues affect only a small, fringe group of individuals. The reality is quite the opposite. According to the World Health Organization, one in every eight people globally lives with a mental disorder. Conditions like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and OCD are far more common than most realize.
In India alone, the National Mental Health Survey estimates that nearly 14% of the population suffers from some form of mental illness. These numbers spike even further among young adults, college students, and working professionals.

Fast, smart, and adaptive: using machine learning to optimize mental health assessment and monitor change over time

2025-07-04 - 2025-07

In mental health, accurate symptom assessment and precise measurement of patient conditions are crucial for clinical decision-making and effective treatment planning. Traditional assessment methods can be burdensome, especially for vulnerable populations, leading to decreased motivation and potentially unreliable results. Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) has emerged as a solution, offering efficient and personalized assessments. In particular, Machine Learning-based CAT (MT-based CATs) enables adaptive, rapid, and accurate evaluations that are more easily implementable than traditional methods. This approach bypasses typical item selection processes and the associated computational costs while avoiding the rigid assumptions of traditional CAT approaches. This study investigates the effectiveness of Machine Learning-Model Tree-based CAT (ML-MT-based CAT) in detecting changes in mental health measures collected at four time points (6-month intervals between February 2018 and December 2019).

Over 20,000 students in New York's Finger Lakes may lose mental health services
Many rural schools in places like upstate New York are facing a big problem—too few mental health professionals for too many students.
