NeuroJust on Summer Stress, Functional Depression, and TMS Therapy

Jordan Generous of NeuroJust says summer is a key time to address mental health before fall schedules return. He encourages early evaluation for anxiety and depression, especially for parents, teachers, and students. The conversation highlights transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression. Generous explains that TMS targets brain activity linked to mood regulation and differs from medication-based approaches and electroconvulsive therapy. He also discusses “functional depression,” where people continue daily responsibilities but struggle with anxiety, stress, and fatigue. Many high-functioning individuals overlook symptoms until burnout occurs. Generous says TMS can improve clarity, reduce anxiety, and help patients feel more present in daily life.

Louisiana Lawmakers Back Carbon Capture and Energy Policies to Boost Jobs and Investment

Louisiana lawmakers closed the session by advancing energy-focused policies aimed at boosting investment, strengthening infrastructure, and supporting long-term economic growth in Louisiana. A key measure, the Louisiana Energy Protection Act, is intended to provide legal certainty for energy companies by limiting certain climate-related lawsuits, which supporters say could encourage major long-term projects. Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) also remained central to the debate, with advocates highlighting the state’s experience, workforce, and geology as advantages for expansion of the technology. Proponents argue CCS could help industry stay competitive while supporting jobs and domestic energy production. Supporters say these policies are especially important as Louisiana competes with states like Texas for large-scale industrial investment. Overall, industry leaders expect continued debate but see stable policy as key to attracting future energy projects.
