AP Chicago reports a large new study showing five times as many high school and college students reach anxiety and low mood thresholds in 2007 compared with 1938. Led by Jean Twenge at five universities, the MMPI responses from 77,576 youth suggest cultural pressures and parenting styles may contribute, with notable rises in hypomania and psychopathic deviation indicators.

Groundbreaking gospel marriage trial begins in California
The first federal case on whether the U S Constitution bans states from outlawing same sex marriage opens in California. Plaintiffs Kristin Perry Sandra Stier oppose Proposition 8 with two other couples, arguing the ban denies equal protection and rights to marry. The trial, before Chief Judge Vaughn R Walker, will test marriage definitions, parenting, and rights within a nationally watched legal fight likely to reach the U S Supreme Court.
