Things You Should Never Say to Someone Struggling with Depression – Lifehacker

Photo: Chanintorn.v (Shutterstock) Whatever your experiences with own mental health, it’s daunting to find the perfect thing to say when someone you care about is struggling with depression. But it’s easier to figure out what not to say. All too often, someone who is depressed will “feel ashamed” and “mistakenly believe they should be able to overcome it with willpower alone,” writes Mayo Clinic. Unfortunately, our words have the power to exacerbate those feelings of shame, which can drive someone to sink deeper into their depression. When someone is depressed, they aren’t themselves in their thinking, feelings, and body, “and that means that every word you say to them really matters,” says Roseann Capanna-Hodge, an integrative mental health expert, speaking to Parade. Assuming you wa...

Cancer mortality rates continue to decline amid major progress in lung cancer early detection and treatment – CNN

The overall cancer death rate dropped by about a third (32%) from its peak in 1991 to 2019, from about 215 deaths for every 100,000 people to about 146, averting about 3.5 million deaths during that time, according to the data. Most of that decline can be attributed to a drop in mortality among lung cancer patients. The American Cancer Society projects that there will be about 1.9 million new cancer diagnoses and more than 609,000 cancer deaths in the United States in 2022, including about 350 deaths per day from lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death. In 2019, about one in four cancer deaths was among lung cancer patients, but lung cancer deaths are declining faster than overall trends. Mortality rates for lung cancer dropped about 5% each year between 2015 and 2019, while overa...

Can COVID vaccine boosters stop flurona? – Deseret News

It’s now pretty well-known that you can become infected with the novel coronavirus and the seasonal flu at the same time — a situation that experts are now calling “flurona.” It’s just unclear what can stop it. Dr. Robert Quigley, the senior vice president and global medical director for International SOS, a leading medical and security services company, told me that the COVID-19 vaccine and the vaccine booster shots might not stop flurona. It’s impossible to know whether a COVID-19 vaccine or booster shot can completely stop flurona, Quigley said. “But they will help to reduce the number of positive cases, can potentially ease the symptoms if you do become infected with COVID-19, and ultimately will lessen the risk of being hospitalized due to COVID-19 infection,” Quigley sai...

Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman are engaged – CNN

The representative gave no further details, but the Sun reported that the pair got engaged during a recent break to Barbados. Cowell, aged 62, and Silverman, now 44, began their public relationship in 2013, shortly after Silverman's ex-husband and Cowell's close friend, Andrew Silverman, filed for divorce in July, claiming the pair were involved in an extramarital affair. "The X Factor" creator and Silverman, a New York socialite, welcomed their first son, Eric, in 2014. Silverman also has a son from a previous marriage. When previously asked on fellow "American Idol" alum Ryan Seacrest's radio show if he planned to marry Silverman, Cowell said, "Let's put it this way, I wouldn't expect her to be a single mother." The reality TV executive told Britain's OK! magazine in ...

Jamie Lynn Spears: I went out of my way to help Britney end conservatorship – Page Six

Jamie Lynn Spears claimed in a rare TV interview Wednesday that she tried to help end her now-estranged sister Britney Spears’ controversial conservatorship. “I’ve always been my sister’s biggest supporter, so when she needed help, I set up ways to do so,” Jamie Lynn, 30, said on “Good Morning America” Wednesday. “I went out of my way to make sure that she had the contacts she needed to possibly go ahead and end this conservatorship and just end this all for our family,” she continued. “If it’s going to cause this much discord, why continue it?” The “Zoey 101” alum did not reveal which “contacts” she gave Britney, 40, nor whether the pop star ever got in touch with them. Jamie Lynn did, however, share that she had a conversation with Samuel D. Ingha...

KN95 and N95 masks: Which does the CDC recommend, and can you reuse them? – The Independent

As the US fights to slow the spread of Covid-19’s Omicron variant, reports have surfaced that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is considering recommending that those who can should wear a higher standard of mask when in public – specifically the KN95 and N95 masks that have been in high demand for the last two years. The Washington Post quotes an unnamed official saying that “the agency is currently actively looking to update its recommendations for KN95 and N95 in light of Omicron”, explaining: “we know these masks provide better filtration”. The news comes as surging case numbers put pressure on the CDC and Biden administration to adjust their Covid-19 strategy on a number of fronts, from home test provision to isolation requirements to vaccine mandates.
