Why a modern approach to healthcare must consider more than illness | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When antidepressants were created nearly 40 years ago, they were expected to be a breakthrough in treating mental illness. Instead, rates of depression have kept rising. Why? Perhaps because we are missing the bigger picture. There is tremendous evidence that lifestyle changes can treat depression. Exercise is effective, and dietary changes can be just as valuable as the most evidence-backed therapy. As psychologist Kimberley Wilson shows, proper nutrition makes it easier for people to control t
A 'unique opportunity': is this the weirdest RightMove listing ever? | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Feedback is our weekly column of bizarre stories, implausible advertising claims, confusing instructions and more There is a flourishing genre of content on YouTube and other video sites that can best be described as “gawping at real estate listings”.

(continued) The question presumes humans can easily tell the difference between fact and fiction. Human evolution and archaeology indicate that for most of humanity’s existence, information was passed down by the spoken word, probably often to children. Even factual events and people would be subject to distortion and simplification, while completely made
Last Word: What is an itch, and why can a simple touch calm it? | New Scientist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What is an itch, and why are most so easily calmed with a simple touch? Your questioner clearly hasn’t lost many nights’ sleep being driven crazy by, say, a mosquito bite on the back of a toe, seemingly refractory to all treatments other than scratching it until it hurts, which feels better than the itch. Maybe itching has evolved to alert us to attack by blood-sucking arthropods, and if the persistence of the itch leads to a visceral loathing thereof, then surely that too, given dangers like th
