Gambling Co-existing Problems (CEP)
Mental health disorders commonly co-occur with gambling harm. Around 96% of those meeting criteria for pathological gambling disorder also meet criteria for at least one other psychiatric disorder, with two-thirds meeting criteria for three or more disorders. The most common co-occurring disorders are substance use disorders (42%), mood disorders like depression (56%), and anxiety disorders (60%). Overall, around 74% of problem gamblers experienced the other disorder prior to developing problems with gambling. Screening for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders should be part of assessments for gambling disorder.
Depression
Depression is a common and serious mood disorder that causes severe symptoms affecting feelings, thoughts, and daily activities. It has several forms including persistent depressive disorder, perinatal depression, psychotic depression, and seasonal affective disorder. Symptoms include persistent sadness, hopelessness, irritability, guilt, loss of interest, fatigue, changes in appetite or sleep, difficulty concentrating, and suicidal thoughts. Depression is usually treated with medications, psychotherapy, or a combination of both, and the earlier treatment begins the more effective it is. Depression affects about one in 15 adults in a given year and one in six people will experience depression at some point in their lives.
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO MENTAL HEALTH.pptx
Mental health affects how people think, feel and behave. It is on a spectrum from good to poor. Good mental health allows people to think positively and cope with stress, while poor mental health makes daily tasks difficult. Mental health depends on overall physical health, having a stable home and purpose, and strong community relationships. Common mental illnesses include anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders and substance abuse disorders. Genetics, life experiences, brain chemistry, trauma and medical conditions can all contribute to mental illness. Maintaining overall wellness through stress reduction, learning, nature, social connection and sleep can help prevent problems.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Part II - Body Grief: Losing parts of ourselves and our identity before, duri...

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
