How We Can Better Support Mothers With Postpartum Depression
We grow from what we know. It’s a fact that’s followed us all our lives.

Parenting During a Pandemic When Your Child Has OCD
Much has been written about the plight of parents during the COVID-19 crisis. Moms and dads are navigating the trials of working remotely, keeping their kids on track with school and trying to create activities for the family within the safe confines of one’s home. Hilarious memes fill social media that nail the lockdown vibe. The comments of war-torn mothers are equally amusing. One read, “Day 42, still no blood or bone showing, I guess we’re doing great!”

Balancing Lives in Pandemic Decisions
The United States has passed 100,000 deaths in the COVID-19 pandemic, and there are more than 350,000 deaths worldwide. Governments are struggling with decisions about how to reduce lockdown measures without provoking new spikes in cases and deaths. Descriptions of these decisions often use balance metaphors, talking about the need to balance the spread of the disease against the hardships caused by loss of economic activity. Is it possible to balance lives without falling into moral vertigo?

Self-Care for New and Expectant Mothers in the Pandemic
Even prior to the coronavirus pandemic, it was the case that “women who are depressed during pregnancy or after the birth may stop doing things for themselves that give them a sense of enjoyment or satisfaction,” note researchers at British Columbia Children’s Hospital. With the added stresses of a pandemic, it is clear that new and expectant mothers face a new range of obstacles and challenges to the health and well-being of themselves and their families.

Why I'm Different From My Friends as a Teen Wheeling Through the Pandemic
Less than a year ago, my friends and I sat on the wooden bench outside South’s library discussing our feelings about starting a new school year. We couldn’t wait to turn 17 and experience the magic of being the “dancing queen,” but we dreaded taking the SAT, subject tests and APs. None of us expected junior year, the so-called “worst year of high school,” to be easy, but never in my life did I expect that in just months, I would be quarantined, fearing for the lives of myself and my community.

It’s OK to Talk About Bad Chronic Illness Days on Social Media
I had a really unfortunate situation happen to me today. I won’t get into specifics, but someone was upset with me for how much I share my personal health struggles on my social media pages. For years, I’ve struggled with endometriosis, PCOS, IBS and chronic pelvic pain. My diagnosis list continues to grow, much to my surprise and disdain, adding in an awful digestive condition called gastroparesis and a few we haven’t quite been able to identify yet. It’s almost as if every time we find a solution, another issue pops up. I go through a never-ending cycle of medical tests, referrals and waiting for answers that never seem to come.
