Treating depression in teenagers may be easier than in adults: Study

Depression in young teenagers could be easier to treat than in adulthood due to the symptoms being more flexible and not yet ingrained, according to a study on Tuesday. Depression is a complex condition, characterised by a range of connected symptoms. Current interventions treat overall depression severity and do not consider how symptoms interact and evolve. Researchers from the University of Edinburgh, in the UK, explained that symptoms such as sadness, fatigue, and a lack of interest are less predictable in teenagers. However, these become more fixed in adults, which can lead to persistent depression. “The findings highlight the importance of targeting depression at an early age when symptoms are still changing,” said Poppy Z. Grimes, Division of Psychiatry, at the varsity. In the p...

Kim Kardashian $10M jewel heist suspect says he regrets ‘trauma’ he caused – National

One of the suspects in the armed robbery of reality TV star Kim Kardashian said he regrets the “trauma” he caused her nearly nine years after Kardashian was bound, gagged and robbed at gunpoint during Paris Fashion Week in October 2016. The robbery was considered the biggest heist targeting an individual that Paris had seen in decades. The jury of six citizens will conduct the trial, along with three magistrates — a procedure in France reserved for the most serious crimes.Defendant Yunice Abbas said this was the first time he truly recognized the “trauma” he caused Kardashian, as the trial began Tuesday in the proceedings against 10 people charged in connection with the 2016 robbery, where more than US$10 million worth of jewelry was stolen.“I regret it, not because I got caught, but becau...

Try Antinote’s Notepad Alternative for Mac to Give Your Sticky Notes Superpowers

When it comes to note-taking apps on the Mac, it's hard to look past Apple Notes, as it has a lot of features and has proven itself to be quite reliable. But in my workflow, I sometimes miss having a scratchpad on my Mac, something akin to Notepad on Windows. I like using tools like this for outlining my articles, jotting down notes that can turn into story ideas, or simply creating quick to-do lists for routine tasks. macOS has a built-in app called Stickies that does some of these things, but it's desperately in need of an update, as the design looks outdated and it's not ideal for handling multiple notes. I recently discovered Antinote, a beautifully designed app that does everything I need from a sticky notes app, and has many more features including creating Pomodoro timers and conver...

Canada election tells a tale of 2 demographics split on top issues – National

Canadians split among age groups as well as party lines in casting their votes in Monday’s federal election, exit polls suggested, with different issues driving their choices. Exit polls conducted by Ipsos exclusively for Global News found Canadians aged 55 and older leaned toward the Liberals, who were seen as the party that would best handle U.S. President Donald Trump and his fraying of the Canada-U.S. relationship.Younger Canadians aged 18 to 34, meanwhile, picked the Conservatives, based on their perception of who would best address affordability and the rising cost of living.“What we’ve got are two groups of people: one who remembers a Canada that worked wonderfully (in the 1970s and 1980s) … that Canada is not the Canada of young people today, who don’t identify with that,” said Dar...

Meet the man who ousted Pierre Poilievre: ‘Someone had to stand up’

As results trickled in from across Canada on election night, few ridings were as closely watched as the Ottawa-area riding of Carleton, which Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has held for 20 years. Among the many Canadians staying up late to watch the closely contested riding was Bruce Fanjoy, the Liberal challenger — and now, projected MP-designate.“It was a long night and an early morning. I didn’t get too much sleep, but we’re still ticking,” Fanjoy told Global News on Tuesday morning.In 2004, a 25-year-old Poilievre unseated Liberal incumbent David Pratt and won what was then known as the riding of Nepean-Carleton. In 2015, the riding was re-constituted as Carleton and Poilievre continued to hold it for the Tories.After seven consecutive wins, Poilievre is now projected to have los...

What next for the NDP after party loses leader, seats and official status? – National

The New Democrat Party is confronting what looks to be its worst-ever performance in Monday’s federal election, with Jagmeet Singh losing his riding, resigning his leadership and the party losing official status in the House of Commons. Global News is projecting the Liberals will form government for the fourth time — their third minority in a row — with the Conservatives improving their seat-count from the last three elections, leaving the NDP in a distant fourth place.“Obviously I’m disappointed that we could not win more seats,” said Singh, who told supporters at campaign headquarters in Burnaby, B.C., that he would resign as leader after an interim leader is appointed.“But I’m not disappointed in our movement. I’m hopeful for our party … We have built the best of Canada and we are not g...

U.S. congratulates Carney on election win, notes ‘extensive’ relationship – National

The Trump administration on Tuesday congratulated Prime Minister Mark Carney for his victory in Canada’s federal election, touting the “extensive” relationship between the two countries that has been strained under U.S. President Donald Trump.
