Comfort eating: The new mental illness. You eat a biscuit - then can't stop until you finish the packet. Don't assume it's lack of willpower. Doctors now say it's a psychiatric condition that needs treatment Binge-eating has officially been classified a new type of eating disorder Those affected are often depressed and extremely self-critical Unsurprisingly, those with binge eating disorder are often overweight, but... They can and do lose weight periodically - and dramatically The disorder affects men and women equally (unlike anorexia and bulimia) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2478592/Comfort-eating-The-new-mental-illness-You-eat-biscuit--stop-finish-packet-Dont-assume-lack-willpower-Doctors-say-psychiatric-condition-needs-treatment.html#ixzz2j6XmfaVK

Should we be mindful of mindfulness? It has been prescribed by the NHS for depression since 2004 but recently mindfulness has spawned a whole industry of evening classes and smartphone apps. What is the evidence that the practice – part meditation, part CBT – works? http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/feb/23/should-we-be-mindful-of-mindfulness-nhs-depression

Are you a glass half-empty person? Don't worry, it's not your fault - we're hardwired to be positive or negative Study is first to prove there are positive and negative people in the world Negative people who were instructed to be happy became more anxious 'You can't just tell someone to think positively,' say researchers http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2596164/Are-glass-half-person-Dont-worry-not-fault-hardwired-positive-negative-research-reveals.html#ixzz2xuenXZTL

Mentally ill people need to be helped, not hounded Ministers promise 'parity of esteem' for mental and physical health services. Instead the reality is scandalous cruelty http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/jul/08/mentally-ill-need-help-not-bullying-by-the-state
