Mental-health podcasts(播客) are no replacement for therapy,but they can be an excellent resource for information and reflection.Whether you're dealing with anxiety or depression,these are an uplifting reminder that you're not alone.
The Happiness Lab
Laurie Santos teaches a course at Yale University called Psychology and the Good Life,where she lectures on the science of happiness.Santos brings that material to a broader audience with her podcast,in which she invites mental health experts to discuss the science behind everyday emotions.
Inappropriate Questions
This podcast approaches mental health from a uniquely empathetic angle. In each episode,hosts Elena Lyle and Harvinder Wadhwa explore how a certain question can unintentionally make the answerer uncomfortable.For example,is it proper to offer the blind help if you don't know whether they need it? Listeners get personal insights into discrimination,which may help them become more thoughtful communicators.
Disability After Dark
In his podcast,disability rights consultant Andrew Gurza has friendly chats with people about what it's really like to live with disabilities.The host and his guests discuss their struggles in a world that doesn't provide enough accessibility,why that impacts their mental health and how they've come to find pride in their disability.
Not Another Anxiety Show
Health and wellness coach Kelli Walker uses her podcast to explain to listeners that,although it can be scary,anxiety is a normal part of the human experience.Walker and expert guests describe why anxiety occurs in our brains and bodies and provide information about how it's possible to live a fulfilled life while dealing with anxiety.

Previous studies of children have found links between use of electronic media and physical health risks.Electronic media use is also associated with social connection.However,comparatively less is known about links with academic performance.
To help clarify these links,Mundy and colleagues studied 1,239 8- to 9-year-olds in Melbourne,Australia.They used a national achievement test data to measure the children's academic performance at baseline and again after two years.They also asked the children's parents to report on their kids' use of electronic media.
The researchers found that watching two or more hours of television per day at the age of 8 or 9 was associated with lower reading performance compared to peers two years later;the difference was equal to losing four months of learning.Using a computer for more than one hour per day was linked to a similar degree of lost numeracy(计算能力).The analysis showed no links between use of videogames and academic performance.
By accounting for baseline academic performance and potentially influencing factors such as mental health difficulties and body mass index (BMI)and controlling for prior media use,the researchers were able to identify television and computer use was associated with poorer academic performance.
These findings could help parents and teachers better plan and make clinical recommendations for electronic media use in late childhood.Future research could build on these results by examining continued associations in secondary school.
The authors add:“The debate about the effects of modern media on children's learning has never been more important given the effects of today's pandemic on children.This is the first large study of electronic media use and learning in primary school children,and results showed heavier users of television and computers had significant declines in reading two years later compared with light users.”
