Cinco cosas que hacer cuando estás deprimido

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:34 GMT

(CNN) — La depresión está aumentando en Estados Unidos. Tanto así que lo más probable es que si no padeces esta enfermedad, conozcas a alguien que sí la sufre.Casi el 18% de los adultos estadounidenses —más de 1 de cada 6— afirmaron estar actualmente deprimidos o recibiendo tratamiento para la depresión, según una encuesta de Gallup de 2023. En 2015, cuando Gallup empezó a recopilar información sobre el tema, la cifra era inferior al 11%.Los datos de Gallup muestran que la depresión clínica estaba aumentando lentamente en el país antes de la pandemia, pero creció más rápidamente después de ella, con el aislamiento social, la soledad, el miedo a la infección, el agotamiento psicológico, el abuso de sustancias y la interrupción de la atención de salud mental. Las tasas entre las mujeres, los adultos jóvenes y los adultos negros e hispanos son las que están aumentando más rápidamente.Para los adolescentes de 12 a 17 años, las estadísticas también son nefastas: Según los Centros p...

US vetoes Israel ceasefire resolution at the UN

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:34 GMT

The United States vetoed a resolution at the United Nations Security Council Friday demanding an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, as civilian casualties rise amid Israel’s military campaign against the Palestinian militant group Hamas.The resolution, introduced by the United Arab Emirates, was a priority for U.N. Security General António Guterres, who invoked Article 99 of the U.N. Charter to bring the issue to the immediate attention of the Security Council. Guterres had urged member states to demand an immediate cease-fire in light of an impending “humanitarian catastrophe” in the Gaza Strip.It was supported by 13 out of the 15 members of the Security Council. The U.S., which holds veto power as a permanent member, voted against the resolution. The United Kingdom, another permanent member, abstained.“We do not support calls for an immediate cease-fire,” Deputy U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Robert Wood said Friday in New York. “This would only plant the seeds for the next war, because H...

Protesters at UN COP28 climate summit demonstrate for imprisoned Emirati, Egyptian activists

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:34 GMT

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Protesters at the United Nations’ COP28 climate summit demonstrated Saturday for imprisoned human rights activists in Egypt and the United Arab Emirates, the past and current host of the negotiations. Demonstrators carried signs bearing the image of Emirati activist Ahmed Mansoor and Egyptian pro-democracy activist Alaa Abdel-Fattah, part of incredibly restricted, but still-unprecedented protests being allowed to take place within the UAE from within the U.N.-administered Blue Zone for the summit. However, just before the demonstration organized by Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, protesters had to fold over signs bearing the Emirati detainees’ names — even after they already had crossed out messages about them. The order came roughly 10 minutes before the protest was due to start from the U.N., which said it could not guarantee the security of the demonstration, said Joey Shea, a researcher at Human Rights Watch focused on...

Taiwan-Canada ties surge as supporters tout trade, politics and shared values

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:34 GMT

VANCOUVER — Somewhere at the confluence of politics, commerce and shared values driving a recent wave of Canadian fascination with Taiwan, there were the island’s “freedom pineapples.”In 2021, imports of the fruit enjoyed a spike in interest internationally when China banned them from its market.Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry urged “like-minded friends” around the world to stand up to China by buying “freedom pineapples,” and the phenomenon took off.At Kuohua Trading Co., a Taiwanese supermarket in Richmond, B.C., a member of the sales staff said on Friday that while they only imported a small number of pineapples during the campaign, they sold quickly and created word-of-mouth advertising on social media. “Word spreads quickly online,” she said. Overall Canadian trade with Taiwan is up sharply. There has also been a spate of visits by Canadian politicians, despite a lack of formal diplomatic relations. Canada-China ties might b...

The Great Grain Grab: Ukrainian companies are facing takeover attempts by US Hedge funds 'for their own long term gain'

Image credit: octave @depositphotos“War has always been a racket, and it is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, and, surely, the most vicious,” said Smedley Butler, once the most decorated US Marine in history before becoming an author and anti-war advocate. Before dying in 1940, Butler said that during his 33-year military career, he was primarily “a high-class muscle man for Big Business, Wall Street, and the bankers".The war in Ukraine seems to be taking a similar path. War profiteers have already made billions of dollars from death and misery in the country. A report reveals oil companies made nearly $220 billion in profits in 2022, “a windfall of Russia`s invasion of Ukraine”, as President Joe Biden recently critiqued.When the war ends, rebuilding Ukraine will represent a trillion-dollar opportunity for US and European construction companies, who are already planning how to get their hands on those profits.Opportunist hedge funds have also emerged as significant wa...

Ukraine’s first lady: Without more aid the world ‘will simply let us die’

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 13:18:34 GMT

Olena Zelenska has warned that without continued financial support from the West, Ukraine will be “left to die.” Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, spoke to the BBC a day after Republican senators in the U.S. blocked a bill which would have provided more than $60 billion worth of support to Ukraine as it fends off Russia’s full-scale invasion.“If the world gets tired, they will simply let us die,” she said. “It hurts us greatly to see the signs that the passionate willingness to help may fade.”The White House has warned that U.S. funds for Ukraine could soon run out, with President Joe Biden adding that the failure to support Ukraine would be a “gift” for Russian President Vladimir Putin and that history would “judge harshly those who turned their back on freedom’s cause.” Those remarks were echoed by Britain’s new Foreign Secretary David Cameron on Thursday, who said that block...
