This past Sunday marked the 51st anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the event that catalyzed the LGBTQ+ rights movement in the United States, and later inspired #pride events every June. As Pride month comes to a close, we want to shed light on mental health issues affecting LGBTQ people. This year, Pride has taken on a special focus in light of the Black Lives Matter movement. It is well documented that Black youth in general face a variety of challenges from being and feel...ing marginalized, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. Research also shows that LGBTQ youth are prone to mental health concerns because of the chronic stress of the stigma, rejection and often violence they face on a daily basis, with transgender and non-binary youth at particular risk. Thus, the intersection of identities for LGBTQ youth who are also Black may make them particularly vulnerable to depressive illness, especially if they face inadequate access to culturally appropriate care.

Save the date and register now! The Summer 2020 Race of HOPE has gone virtual and will be held on Sunday, August 2nd, 2020.

Feeling stressed? You are not alone! Join Heidi Hanna tomorrow for her free Global Stress Summit, an event where mental health experts will talk about how to turn your anxiety into productive action during this unprecedented time. Learn more and register at the link below What is the Global Stress Summit? "Stress has become a buzzword, but most of us don’t really know what it is. According to Dr. Heidi Hanna, the word itself can cause stress just because it’s difficult to... define. We use it as a catchall for anything that feels off in our lives, and by dumping problems into a bucket of stress we leave ourselves feeling overwhelmed and out of control. Stress is simply a stimulus for change, and its impact is based on our ability to effectively adapt. You can make stress your friend with some very simple tools and techniques. And the upcoming Global Stress Summit will tell you how, absolutely free and from the comfort of your own home or office." https://www.globalstresssummit.com/

Thank you Elizabeth Wurtzel for your courage to speak out about clinical depression and to inspire others to do the same. https://www.nytimes.com//07/bo/elizabeth-wurtzel-dead.html

It is with deep sadness that we announce the loss of our dear colleague Dr. Bruce McEwen, a Rockefeller University neuroscientist and founding member of Hope for Depression Research Foundation’s (HDRF) Depression Task Force, who died on January 2 at age 81 after a brief illness. https://www.hopefordepression.org/memoriam-bruce-s-mcewen-/

Dr. Bruce McEwen is a world leader in the study of stress hormones. He is the Alfred E. Mirsky Professor and Head of the Harold and Margaret Milliken Hatch Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology at The Rockefeller University. He is renowned for the discovery of stress hormone receptors in the hippocampus, a key mood area in the brain; this has led to an increasingly sophisticated understanding of how stress hormones circulating in the body affect mood, memory and mental health. Dr. McEwen graduated Summa Cum Laude in Chemistry from Oberlin College in 1959 and obtained his Ph.D. in Cell Biology in 1964 from The Rockefeller University. He is the co-author of two books for a lay audience: The End of Stress as We Know It (2002) and The Hostage Brain (1994).

Dr. Helen Mayberg is a world leader in neurology. She is founding director of the newly-established Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She is renowned for her study of the brain circuits of depression and her pioneering Deep Brain Stimulation research. The new center will advance precision surgical treatments for depression and other mind/brain disorders through neuroengineering innovations that correct brain circuit abnormalities. Previously Dr. Mayberg was Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Radiology at Emory University in Atlanta. She was trained at Columbia’s Neurological Institute in New York, with fellowship training in nuclear medicine at Johns Hopkins.

Dr. Elisabeth Binder is an international leader in the genetic basis of depression. Dr. Binder is the director of the Department of Translational Research in Psychiatry at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry in Munich, Germany. Her lab studies a central question: Why do some people face adversity and seem to bounce back, while others get stuck in depression? Dr. Binder’s work will uncover the human genes that will allow us to know who is at risk to develop depression after significant adversity, so we can intervene early with precision treatments.
