Feeling blue isn’t all bad Depression is an evolutionary device — the body's way of telling us to stop wasting energy railing against things that can do us harm, be that a bad boss or a bleak winter, a mental health researcher says. “It can be a deterrent the same way pain or fever is a defence. It protects you against situations where otherwise you would spend your energy and resources in a futile way,” said Dr. Benoit Mulsant, physician in chief at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health.
Open-concept architecture transforms city From Regent Park to the Ritz-Carlton, 60 Richmond to the Royal Ontario Museum, a new architecture of openness is remaking the city. The most obvious symbol of this phenomenon is the glass that has become the material of choice for buildings of almost any sort — cultural, corporate, condo, commercial, even health care.Among the best examples is the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health on Queen St. W.
Bruce Ballon speaks on ‘Facebook Depression’ Pediatricians should start asking children, teens and their parents about internet use to look for any mental health problems
that could be related to use of social media like Facebook, an influential U.S. medical group says.
Should the government develop a national strategy for Alzheimer’s Disease? A national Alzheimer's strategy is needed to better co-ordinate research, treatment and prevention for the costly and mind-robbing disease, doctors and scientists say. Coordinating the efforts of researchers across Canada could speed up advances, said Dr. Aristotle Voineskos, a physician and investigator at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto.
Even though it's March, winter still has a tenacious grip on the weather. And if you're feeling the blahs, they're unlikely to lift anytime soon.

He joined us to tell us how unusual the blahs are at this time of year... and what we can do about it.
CAMH Named a top Diversity employer Increased competition and tougher criteria made it more challenging to be named one of Canada’s Best Diversity Employers for 2011. Mediacorp’s editorial team chose the 45 winners from a short list of 300, narrowed from 2,750 who started the application process. That is 150 more than last year.

The Mosaic in Meltdown? Kwame McKenzie explores the questions: Are Canadians tired of accommodating new immigrants? Is that why more and more of them opt for the melting pot rather than the mosaic model of immigrant integration?
How Canadian researchers hope to delay onset of Alzheimer’s Aristotle Voineskos of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health said the gene causes subtle weaknesses in areas of the brain that are the first to be affected by Alzheimer’s. It is a common variant, carried by well over half the population, and is probably one of many risk factors related to the disease.
Those who shine the brightest are also those most susceptible to burning out – and the risk of flameout is growing for Canadian executives, workplace experts warn. That’s borne out in a survey released Tuesday by the Toronto-based Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, which found employees with the greatest responsibility are facing the highest levels of stress on the job. In the survey of 2,737 Canadian workers, 18 per cent reported that their job was “highly stressful.”
In bar fights, not all participants are willing: study Barroom brawls and pub fights are often depicted in movies as free-for-alls with willing participants, but new research aims to dissect the experience and finds a distinct difference between perpetrators and victims.

The Reality of Living with Mental Illness
Stressed Out? Try mindfulness meditation Zindel Segal was in a Toronto bookstore a few weeks ago, when a title caught his eye. The book, The Mindful Investor, caused him a moment of shock and panic. “I turned to someone and said, ‘This is the beginning of the end,’” recalls Dr. Segal, who heads the cognitive behaviour therapy clinic at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. The book, which purports to explain how a calm mind can help a person achieve financial security, is a sign that the concept of mindfulness is making a leap into mass popularity. But that doesn’t mean people actually understand it, he says.
Improving mental health care access in Ontario January 7, 2011 A new report on Ontario's mental health system has found that Ontario is failing the mentally ill.

Letters to the editor: Judges push back It is wrong to suggest deinstitutionalization of people living with mental illness is responsible for the pressure on forensic beds (Judges Push Back Against Mental Hospitals – Nov. 17). There are now more forensic beds in the system than there were 30 years ago. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health now has 1,400 people in their forensic program compared to 400 in 1992.

Ron Hynes: The man behind the thousand songs The singer known as “The Man of a Thousand Songs” fixes his eyes on the camera in front of him and asks: “So what do you think this film is about, Bill?” It’s an interesting way to start a movie, and only partly because Ron Hynes — the near-legendary Newfoundland singer-songwriter about to be stripped figuratively bare — is looking the viewer straight in the eye. It’s equally interesting because the answer is only slowly revealed as William D. MacGillivray’s The Man of a Thousand Songs (Saturday’s closing night film at this year’s Rendezvous With Madness Film Festival) begins to slowly probe its subject.
