Stress and Anxiety

 A report done on the 6th of January tells about a study showing the relationship of stress and anxiety disorders. In this study, it is shown that stress is a big influence in anxiety and depression. While scientists are unsure which dependent-stressors correlate to which disorder, but they have found that, "high-severity stressful events have distinct links with different dimensions of internalizing psychopathology."(paragraph 3)

I think that this discovery, while limited in its knowledge, will really help when it comes to anxiety-related problems. Knowing that stress is a factor can help with coping with anxiety and even depression.

    I think it's great that scientist are doing research on not only anxiety and depression alone, but also what causes them. On that matter, do you think knowing what is a big factor of depression and anxiety will help people prevent themselves from developing it? Do you think that we should help to spread this knowledge to others?

      To answer your first question, I believe that while knowing what causes depression and anxiety would help avoid some aspects, not everything can be avoidable. For the second, spreading awareness and knowledge can not only help those who are suffering, but those who aren't can have an easier time understanding what a person is going though.

    I feel like most people could relate to this on a personal level. Many people are affected by anxiety and stress disorders. It's good we are starting to know more and more about these things so that we can help people who need it. What are some other things you think we could do to help people deal with the stress and anxiety they feel?

    I agree with what Elyse said, a lot of people can understand this on a personal level. Stress definitely does factor into anxiety and depression. Do you think that if people with these mental illnesses get help with time management their stress levels would be less?

      I feel like getting help with time management could help to some extent, however, stress comes from everywhere, and perhaps someone's stress isn't mainly from time concerns. It could be a step in the right direction. though.

Current event

I am just doing a trial current event-  Are you supposed to put the link to your article in the summary?  Do you know how to do that?  My current event is an article from the magazine The Week.  It is titled   It's not just the germs — it's also the genes  The article discusses how a person's genes play a part in how viruses react within that body.  It talks about how some people may get a virus more seriously than another & how scientists can look at that information and develop therapies from.  Just so you know The Week pulls articles from other sources-  I did backtrack to check the source they got the original article from & it checks out.

Coral Genetic Diversity Relates to Distinct Lifestyles

 According to microbiologist, Rebecca Vega-Thurber, coral supports more species per square meter than any other habitat. Coral is a complex organism that is able to hide its diversity in plain sight and while scientists always thought there was one distinct species, they have now been able to conclude that there are actually four. The coral's internal structures look almost identical which is what makes it so hard to decipher the difference between the four different kinds, which concludes that millions of years ago, the coral diverged together. Scientists also found that these different species of coral is found at different water depths of the ocean. They also have different amounts of photosynthetic algae and pigments. When this study was conducted, it allowed us to know cryptic reef corals are splitting up their shared ecological space. I think that this is important to know because now we are able to conduct more studies to find out why coral has different properties at differ...
