General Practitioners

• Fibromyalgia
  Cognitive behaviour therapy, exercise, or both together worked significantly better than treatment as usual for adults with unexplained widespread pain (fibromyalgia) in a recent trial from the UK. When asked to gauge how much they had improved after six months of treatment, 30% (26/87) of those treated with cognitive therapy, 35% (32/92) of those given an exercise regimen, and 37% (35/94) of those treated with both reported feeling much better or very much better than they had at the start of the trial. Just 8% (7/88) of controls reported the same magnitude of improvement; the other 92% reported minimal improvement or worse.

• Psychiatry
  November 16, 2011 — One in 12 teens engage in self-harm behavior but the vast majority spontaneously stop as they enter adulthood, a large population-based study shows. Nevertheless, investigators warn that as one of the strongest predictors of completed suicide, self-harm, along with other common mental disorders such as depression and anxiety, may be an important, yet largely unrecognized, component of suicide prevention. Researchers at King’s College London Institute of Psychiatry in the United Kingdom found that among individuals who self-harm as adolescents, 90% stop spontaneously, while the remaining 10% continue to self-harm into adulthood. In addition, a small subgroup of study participants initiated self-harm in early adulthood. When investigators examined this subgroup they found these individuals were more like to have experienced depression and anxiety in their teenage years.
