The differential effects of psychological and physical victimization on depression and anxiety symptoms were examined via APIM and growth curve modeling techniques in a sample of newlyweds (N = 103 couples) assessed four times over the first 3 years of marriage. On average, husbands and wives reported moderate levels of psychological aggression, and there were no sex differences in prevalence rates or mean levels. Changes in psychological victimization were associated with changes in depression and anxiety symptoms, even after controlling for the effects of physical victimization. This study demonstrates the severe impact of psychological aggression on its victims and expands on previous studies of battering samples to demonstrate that psychological victimization may be more damaging th...

If you stick to a moderate-paced walking schedule, it can keep your body mass index down and lower the risk of stress, anxiety and depression," she added. "We recruited African-American and Caucasian women living in Philadelphia for this study to better represent the large population of urban women. These results can be generalizable to both urban Caucasian and African-American women, groups of women that have been under-represented in previous studies," Nelson said.
According to a survey conducted by Nationwide Children's Hospital, 85 percent of primary care doctors are uncomfortable diagnosing and treating anxiety in children, with another 54 percent uncomfortable diagnosing depression.

Most of us work hard to earn a good income and provide the best lifestyle we can for our family. We try to be good husbands and wives, lovers, parents and breadwinners. We want to be happy and reach our goals. Sometimes we become overly focused on the future and take for granted the precious people and treasures already present in our lives. Attaining goals can lead to brief feelings of happiness, but happiness is fleeting. We celebrate each achievement only briefly before it is replaced by another goal.
