Pullman et al ( 2025 ) consider how social work could contribute to the transformation in mental health services from a predominately medical approach to a balanced, evidenced-based biopsychosocial approach to care, as recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) (see eg, its 2022 World Mental Health Report ). Services need to provide person-centred, human rights-based and recovery-orientated care.

But is obsessive-compulsive disorder a disability under U.S. law? The answer is more complex than a simple yes or no.

Key Takeaways AI tools can be helpful, but they can’t replace the emotional depth of a trained human therapist. The question of whether AI can truly provide empathy and human connection is central to understanding its limitations. Therapy is built on shared emotional experiences, which AI lacks. Concerns around whether AI is safe and private for sensitive discussions are still valid and evolving.

In December 2022, I graduated with my master’s degree in marriage and family therapy. My training took place in the medical school’s clinic and a community health care site, where I worked with complex, high-need populations, often uninsured, unhoused and carrying deep histories of trauma. It was intense, emotionally demanding work that left very little space to exhale.

When people hear “bipolar disorder,” they think dramatic mood swings or someone suddenly spiraling into mania. But what if we could catch the signs before a full episode hits? That’s the promise of understanding of what is called the bipolar prodrome — the early warning phase that shows up in many kids and teens long before a formal diagnosis is made.

Not all depression looks the same. Some people appear successful, outgoing, and productive, yet silently struggle with persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or self-doubt. This is often referred to as high-functioning depression , a form of depression that flies under the radar because those experiencing it can still manage daily responsibilities.

As a psychiatrist working with people who have experienced childhood trauma, I often focus on a person’s strengths. Trauma, because it happened in the past, can’t be ‘fixed’ but it can be processed and laid to rest. The brain adapts to find an advantage, a useful edge from almost every experience. It learns to be better. Overcoming adversity is the mechanism of survival.

I entered my counseling graduate program full of hope. I thought I was stepping into a space of healing, one where I could learn how to support others through pain, trauma, and transformation. I didn’t expect to find myself shrinking just to survive. The first time I was called “articulate” in class, I knew what it meant. It was said with a smile, meant as a compliment, but there was a pause behind it.

When a child or teen is struggling with bipolar disorder, it can be overwhelming — for the child and their whole family. The mood shifts aren’t just the usual highs and lows of growing up.
