In 2019, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued recommendations that all pregnant and postpartum women should be evaluated to determine risk for depressive illness and recommended that women at increased risk be referred for counseling interventions. Ultimately, the goal is to identify women who are at highest risk for depressive illness during pregnancy and the postpartum period so that we can introduce interventions designed to prevent depression in this setting. Of utmost importance is the choice of an effective intervention. The medical literature reports a wide range of interventions designed to prevent PPD. However, many of these interventions…

Plantar fasciitis can be a particularly dangerous injury. Anti-inflammatories don’t do much. ice doesn’t help. And if you let it linger, you could be waiting over a year to find relief from chronic pain — and not just in your leg. “If you let it [plantar fasciitis] go for too long, it can lead to other problems, such as knee pain or hip pain,” says the physiotherapist Jacob VanDenMeerendonk, DPT.

To add to this, the weather also changed and the beautiful sunny afternoons turned into long gloomy days where keeping her indoors became…
