Soap Star Kirsten Storms Faces Emergency Restraining Order Over Mental Health Concerns

Ex-General Hospital star Kirsten Storms was granted an emergency restraining order by her ex-husband Brandon Barash, who says she is in a mental health crisis and that their 12-year-old daughter is at risk. In court papers, Barash alleges Storms has faced housing instability, frequently changing hotel rooms because she believes someone is following her and their child; he also claims she owes him $5,000 and told him in 2025 she was experiencing delusions and hallucinations and was hospitalized. Storms currently has supervised visitation, and a judge will review the order’s status later this week. Reps for Storms and Barash did not comment.

A new study by Dartmouth University reveals a significant shift in the traditional U-shaped happiness curve, showing that young adults, especially young women, are now the least happy demographic. This unprecedented downturn in youth well-being, which began around 2017, has been observed globally and is not attributed to COVID-19 or labor market conditions. The exact cause remains unclear, though some speculate the rise of cell phone usage may play a role.

"Addressing the Growing Maternal Mental Health Crisis"

Pregnant women and new mothers in the U.S. are facing a severe mental health crisis, with mental health conditions being the leading cause of pregnancy-related deaths. Maternal mortality rates have surged by 60% between 2019 and 2021, driven by suicides and overdoses. Despite a slight dip in maternal deaths in 2022, experts warn that more data is needed to confirm a true decline. Limited mental health screenings and a shortage of mental health providers exacerbate the issue, while unplanned pregnancies following the overturning of Roe v. Wade may further impact maternal mental health.
