The "Bible of psychiatry" is getting its biggest upgrade in decades, moving online to stay current and adding insights about trauma, environment, and biological causes of mental illness. The changes could transform how millions get diagnosed and treated.
Mental health diagnosis could become more accurate and personalized as psychiatry's main manual faces its biggest scientific overhaul in decades. The changes aim to align mental health treatment with how brains actually work.
A Stanford researcher is studying how nutrition might help treat serious mental health conditions. The emerging field of "metabolic psychiatry" explores connections between what we eat and our mental wellbeing.
Talkiatry just secured $210 million to grow its mental health services, bringing real psychiatric care to people who struggle to access it. The company employs 800 psychiatrists who accept insurance and specialize in conditions requiring medication management.
Children and adults with a rare genetic disorder that forced them to eat cornstarch every few hours just got their first real treatment option. The FDA approved a one-time gene therapy that could free up to 2,500 Americans from a relentless routine that meant any missed dose risked seizures or death.
A new study debunks the myth that your body secretly compensates when you work out more. The more you move, the more calories you burn—no hidden metabolic tricks.
A new handheld device can tell you when your body is burning fat just by analyzing your breath. The breakthrough could help millions track their metabolism as easily as checking their heart rate.
Scientists discovered a naturally occurring hormone that triggers weight loss by speeding up metabolism instead of reducing appetite. Early studies show the hormone FGF21 works differently than popular GLP-1 drugs, offering new hope for obesity treatment.
Researchers discovered how a natural hormone melts away obesity in mice by turbocharging metabolism, not reducing hunger. This breakthrough could lead to weight loss treatments without the downsides of current drugs.
After two decades of searching, researchers have discovered exactly how our bodies complete a crucial step in digestion that textbooks couldn't explain. The breakthrough reveals a never-before-seen transport system that could reshape our understanding of metabolism and liver health.
Scientists discovered how a naturally occurring hormone called FGF21 reverses obesity in mice by speeding up metabolism instead of suppressing hunger. The breakthrough could lead to new treatments for weight loss and liver disease with fewer side effects.
UC Berkeley researchers have discovered a compound that helps mice lose fat while maintaining muscle mass, offering a potential alternative to GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic. The treatment works by boosting metabolism rather than suppressing appetite.
Researchers discovered how a protein called SLIT3 helps brown fat build the blood vessels and nerves it needs to burn calories instead of storing them. This breakthrough could lead to new obesity treatments that boost metabolism rather than just reducing appetite.
Scientists just figured out how a crucial vitamin-powered molecule reaches the tiny energy factories inside every cell in your body. The breakthrough could help doctors better treat brain diseases and metabolic disorders.
Scientists are discovering that the ketogenic diet, originally developed to treat epilepsy a century ago, may offer new hope for people struggling with mental illness. Small trials show dramatic symptom improvements in some patients, opening doors to treatments beyond traditional medications.
New research shows that 90% of American adults have some form of metabolic syndrome, but doctors say simple lifestyle changes can prevent or reverse the damage before it leads to heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Researchers at UC Berkeley have discovered a compound that helps mice lose fat while preserving muscle, offering a potential alternative to appetite-suppressing drugs like Ozempic. The treatment works by boosting metabolism instead of reducing hunger.
A protein scientists thought only burned fat actually protects fat cells from inside their nucleus. This discovery could reshape how we treat diabetes and metabolic disease.
Researchers at UC Irvine discovered how muscle stem cells pause and redirect energy to repair damage before rebuilding, a breakthrough that could help combat muscle loss from aging, injury, and weight-loss drugs. The finding reveals a precise metabolic timing mechanism that might be influenced to speed recovery.
