To evaluate symptomatology and clinical outcomes among treatment-seeking health care workers (HCWs). We examined engagement, presenting symptomatology, and treatment outcomes among a diverse group of HCWs in a large urban health system. Demographic and pretreatment-posttreatment outcome data were available for 69 HCWs who sought cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), with or without medication management, at a specialized clinical center from July 1, 2020, to April 25, 2022.

The present report seeks to fill this gap in the literature by establishing the prevalence of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, alcohol misuse, and well-being among treatment-seeking HCWs.
Method: Data were collected from 421 treatment-seeking HCWs in an outpatient hospital-based mental health setting.
The intracellular protozoan parasites of the genus are responsible for Leishmaniases, vector borne diseases with a wide range of clinical manifestations. causes visceral leishmaniasis (kala azar), the most severe of these diseases. Along their biological cycle, parasites undergo distinct developmental transitions including metacyclogenesis and differentiation of metacyclic promastigotes (MPs) to amastigotes.

- - The study explores how some individuals use physical pain, like massages or hitting a punching bag, as a way to cope with negative emotions, despite cognitive reappraisal being a widely accepted strategy.
- - It tests two main ideas: (1) people might choose to inflict pain as a means to manage their emotional distress, and (2) that short-term relief from negative emotions can indeed come from physical pain.
- - The findings suggest that using physical pain as a coping method can be equally effective as cognitive strategies, prompting a reevaluation of traditional views on emotion regulation approaches.
