As society changes, is it time to change how we screen for depression? With so many adolescents feeling tired and pushing themselves to do schoolwork, should we focus on other indicators? @CPsychResearch | Home authors.elsevier.com/c/1f6m4…

78% of #BlackSummer #bushfires responders were volunteers. Many have not received help for mental health impacts #afterthefires. Australia needs volunteers who aren't at risk of burnout or mental ill-health.
