Psychology: News, Guides & Practical Tips

Want useful stories about how people think, feel and act? This tag collects news, guides and real-life pieces on mental health, behaviour, decision-making and coping. We focus on what matters in daily life across Africa and beyond.

You'll find short explainers, interviews with clinicians, and reports that link research to local services. We avoid jargon. When a study is cited, we note what it really means for people on the ground.

What's here

News: coverage of policy changes, service gaps, and new studies that affect mental health care. Expect updates on hospitals, hotlines, and national programs.

Guides: short, practical steps for stress, sleep, parenting, workplace strain and supporting someone in crisis. Use the tips right away — they're simple and evidence-based.

Explainers: clear breakdowns of depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and common cognitive biases that shape choices.

Personal stories: voices of patients, carers and practitioners. These stories show how systems work and where change is needed.

How to use this tag

Search for topics like 'teen anxiety', 'therapy access' or 'work stress' to find focused pieces. Sort by date for the latest or by relevance for deep reads.

If a text mentions a study, check the link and read the quoted parts. We flag sample size and limits so you know how strong the evidence is.

Quick signs to watch for: big changes in sleep or appetite, loss of interest, ongoing panic or constant worry, and trouble at work or school. These signs are a cue to seek help.

Finding support: public clinics, NGOs, private therapists and community groups all offer help. If cost is a problem, look for sliding-scale clinics, university training centres or helplines.

Spot bad advice: avoid services promising instant cures or pressuring you to pay large fees upfront. Reliable care explains the plan, privacy and expected costs.

Resources: each article links to local hotlines, NGO lists and further reading. Use those links before you act or share advice with someone.

We update often. Want quick updates? Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on social for short summaries and resources tailored to your region.

Have a tip or story idea? Tell us about local groups, gaps in services, or people whose experiences should be heard. Good reporting starts with readers.

Start with these pieces: our explainer on coping with anxiety, a Q&A with a clinical psychologist on trauma, and a report on city mental health services. Each has steps you can try right now.

We aim for clear, practical reporting that helps people and pushes for better services. Bookmark this tag and check back for updates that matter.

If you need urgent help: contact local emergency services or the nearest crisis line. If you're choosing a therapist, ask about their training, fees, session length and how they measure progress. It's okay to try someone else if it doesn't feel right.

Follow trusted sources and share responsibly. Mental health reporting can save lives when it's accurate and local. Keep learning. Stay kind.

Harvey Whitehouse's 'Inheritance' delves into the psychological obstacles to tackling climate change. It critiques capitalist interests and media, while advocating for citizens' assemblies, and community engagement to promote eco-friendly behaviors. The book explores how shared intense experiences create strong group bonds and proposes leveraging inherent human biases to address modern issues.
