What did the study find? Researchers have found that some antidepressants are more likely to cause weight gain and cardiovascular changes than others. For example, older drugs such as amitriptyline and mirtazapine were associated with higher risks of these side effects, while newer drugs such as sertraline and fluoxetine tended to have a more favorable profile. This doesn’t mean that one drug is “better” than another—it means that side effects should be part of the discussion when choosing a treatment. For some people, a drug that causes weight gain can be manageable. For others, especially those with heart disease or…

When they are happy, balanced and fresh, you feel happy, balanced and fresh. And when they’re cranky, stuffy, or a little funky? It’s hard to feel better when you’re worried about a sneaky BO smell or mid-lap sweat. That’s why we need to talk about the humble Armpit Detox. Spoiler: it’s not just about smelling amazing.

While abortion is a perennial campaign issue for political candidates from coast to coast to coast the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, New Jersey’s race to replace term-limited Gov.

Written by Pilar Montalvo, Senior Program Officer, Latin American Planned Parenthood Global Program When Elena* first realized she was pregnant, her first reaction was fear. Not the jitters that many first-time parents experience — but real dread. Her domestic partner, who had forbidden her to use contraception, used drugs and was prone to violence and controlling behaviour. Furthermore, the pandemic raging outside their home on the outskirts of Lima, Peru had effectively trapped Elena, 24, with the person she fears most. Feeling anxious and isolated, she had no one to talk to and nowhere to go. Elena’s situation…
