The author cited figures on depression in old age, roughly one in eight people between the ages of 65 and 79, and about one in five people aged 80 and over. He asked whether aging and the approaching end of life could alone lead someone to become depressed, even if they had lived well and happily. #Depression #Alter #Gesundheit #DE (translated)

Didier Maïsto accused Emmanuel Macron of having confined a generation for months, closed high schools, and isolated teenagers, while he was going to the theater with his wife. He believed that these measures had contributed to the distress of young people and criticized the fact that their anger was treated as a public order issue. To support his statements, Maïsto cited figures he attributed to Public Health France and the National Suicide Observatory: nearly one in five high school students would have shown a significant risk of depression and suicidal thoughts in the past year, and 15% would have already attempted suicide. He also indicated that hospitalizations for self-inflicted injuries among young women aged 15 to 19 had reached 516 per 100,000 in 2023, an increase of nearly 50% since 2017, while the youth suicide rate is said to have increased by 40% between 2020 and 2022. According to him, more than half of students reported depressive symptoms during the second lockdown. Maïsto added that the deterioration of young people's mental health had started in the mid-2010s and that the lockdowns had accelerated it. He also mentioned isolation, academic pressure, Parcoursup, social media, and precarity, estimating that girls were particularly affected. He concluded that young people did not need to be targeted by defense ball launchers. #SantéMentaleJeunes #SantéMentale #Jeunesse #Dépression (translated)

"The pandemic of stress, burnout, and mental discomfort at work that is spreading across Europe costs 100 billion euros per year, not including the real impact on health, career paths, and families. In Belgium, more than 155,000 workers are suffering from burnout or depression according to figures from the INAMI (+32% since 2021), with a 78% increase (compared to 2019) in disability benefit costs, notes Ms. Ceulemans." #BurnOut #SantéAuTravail #MaladieProfessionnelle (translated)

The author wrote that almost one in three European workers stated that they suffer from stress, depression, or anxiety caused or aggravated by work. He argued that psychosocial risks should not be considered less real because they are invisible and cited excessive workloads, precariousness, and lack of autonomy. https://t.co/yPrK1ZuAf4 #SaluteMentale #Lavoro #StressProfessionale #IT #EU (translated)

Ermes Antonucci wrote that Vittorio Sgarbi, hospitalized at Gemelli since Wednesday, had been consumed by depression and had progressively distanced himself from public life. The author linked Sgarbi's decline to years of what he described as a daily media campaign, arguing that the illness could not be traced back to a single cause. According to Antonucci, the campaign began on October 24, 2023, with an article in the Fatto Quotidiano about the fees received by Sgarbi for events and exhibitions, reported to be 300,000 euros in nine months. The following day, he wrote, the newspaper reported on an investigation in Rome and an alleged tax debt of 715,000 euros related to the purchase of a work by Zecchin. On December 15, 2023, the Fatto and Report published an investigation into the painting by Rutilio Manetti "The Capture of Saint Peter", claiming it had been stolen and altered to hide its provenance. Antonucci stated that in 95 days, the Fatto published 82 articles about Sgarbi and that Report dedicated four reports to the matter. He also wrote that the prosecutor's office in Macerata launched an investigation for self-laundering of cultural assets and that Sgarbi resigned as undersecretary for Culture on February 2, 2024. According to the author, Sgarbi was later acquitted of the charges related to the painting by Zecchin, the artwork by Manetti, and the services rendered as undersecretary. Antonucci argued that, while the legal issues were concluding, the media coverage had contributed to the worsening of the man's condition. #Sgarbi #giustizia #mediacritica (translated)

Bundestrainer Jürgen Klopp mit einem Appell an die Öffentlichkeit: „Es gibt keinen Grund für mich, in Depression zu verfallen und zu sagen: wir sind so schlecht. Sind wir nicht. Aber eben auch nicht so gut. Ich will nicht, dass die Spieler abschließend beurteilt werden: der kann das oder das nicht.“ „Wenn ihr jemanden kritisieren wollt, macht das mit mir. Lasst die Neuen sich entwickeln. Die Etablierten, die sind Topspieler in ihren Vereinen, sie kriegen meine Unterstützung. Und kritisiert gerne mich, aber nicht die Jungs.“ „Wir müssen nicht alles in Sack und Asche legen. Ich war überrascht, dass manche gepfiffen haben. Die Zukunft ist so rosig, wie wir uns sie vorstellen. Wir gehen mit allem, was wir haben, da ran. Wir werden den Weg weitergehen.“ @SkySportDE #JürgenKlopp #Fußball #Teamgeist
