A recent nationwide study improves our understanding of the effects of long COVID on pregnant patients. Long COVID refers to a wide range of health problems that people experience after being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Neuropsychiatric symptoms can include depression, anxiety, insomnia, and difficulty with concentration. The study followed people from across the U.S. who got COVID while pregnant. Approximately 1 in 10 pregnant patients developed long COVID symptoms when evaluated six months or more after initial infection. Their symptoms included fatigue and dizziness. Interestingly, researchers also noticed that pregnant people who suffered from pre-infection anxiety/depression were at greater risk for developing long COVID.

Pregnant #women with epilepsy are at considerable risk of dying during #pregnancy and within 42 days after birth compared with women without epilepsy. In addition their children have a higher risk of death or severe #illness in the first 28 days after birth compared with children born to women without epilepsy. These are the main findings of a large Nordic study and the researchers point to the importance of investigating why women with #epilepsy and their #children are at increased risk. #sciencenewsdk

🚨 New Study Dispels Myth 🚨 A groundbreaking study (Jakob Christensen, Julie Werenberg Dreier) reveals that antiseizure medications taken during pregnancy are not clearly linked with an increased risk of epilepsy in children. This finding is crucial for pregnant women with epilepsy, offering new insights into medication safety. While some antiseizure medications still pose risks, this study alleviates concerns about epilepsy transmission from mother to child.

I'm mainly talking about green flags 🏳️ ...in relationships. I speak primarily to teens, but all kids AND (adults/parents) should know this. We attract what we think about. We often discuss the red flags of an unhealthy relationship, but what if we acknowledge and emphasize (and especially demonstrate) the green (healthy) flags? I'm confident we may be much more successful in getting our message across to them. Here are a few I discuss with my teen clients and my own kids. ❤️ Apologizing for their mistakes if they hurt you and taking responsibility ❤️ Open, respectful communication-you are not afraid to express your concerns even if they are different. ❤️ You can be yourself! ❤️ You aren't confused ❤️ You feel supported ❤️ You always feel respected ❤️ You both encourage a support system outside of each other. ❤️ You don't feel judged (and if you do, you can talk about it) ❤️ Honesty ❤️ Displays empathy for you and others! ❤️ You can depend on each other ❤️ Support each other's personal growth ❤️ Respect for each other's boundaries ❤️ Offers emotional support ❤️ View each other as equals There are many more!
