These are 2 separate issues: 1) "Do SSRIs alter fetal development & should the public be warned about this?" Yes & Yes. 2) "Should a specific woman continue her SSRI?" There's no one-size-fits-all answer & the decision is hers to make. Compassionate care & support are key.
"Can SSRI antidepressants affect the developing fetal brain?" Yes. "Should the public be warned about this?" Yes. "Should a specific patient take an SSRI during pregnancy?" This is a separate question. It requires compassionate care & counseling, & support for patient choices.
I'm proud of the work @truththerapist has done and continues to do, and even prouder to call her a friend.
.@DanProft welcomed Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, a licensed clinical social worker known as the @truththerapist, for a candid conversation about the cultural and policy battles surrounding gender identity, particularly as it affects children and families.
He means the Seattle Supersonics. Same odds.
Seattle Mariners fans would be happy with these odds.
This was my favorite part of my discussion with Ryan for my solo episode with him. He evoked a memory from when I was a hospice chaplain, where I had been advised to ask Hispanic families if they would like a window opened at the time of their loved one’s passing so that their…

I know everyone sees Luke and Leia here but I'm looking a bit further in time, to a smaller device, and imagining Griff chasing Marty.
We are excited to share this raw flight footage including take-off and landing, all with real sound. No special effects, no CGI, no AI, pure engineering. Enjoy the future! A fully functional real-world "speeder bike" that so far only existed in sci-fi movies is finally here.
I've been chastised for citing a 2015 UCLA study stating that trans adults are 40% more likely to be suicidal than non-trans adults and as such, I suggest that medical interventions for gender dysphoria are not preventing suicide. "Affirming care" is a lie and it needs to stop.
What are the real suicide numbers for transgender medicine? @stellaomalley3 of @genspect debunks a popular myth:
Normally I don't like listening to recorded live performances but man, this gave me chills.
Fuck it. Entire "Mama I'm Coming Home" from Ozzy's final set.
Pour out a little liquor for the APA.

In Nevada it's closer to $9k per pupil but still, do the math.
We spend $19,999 per child per year in public schools. Imagine if that money went directly to families. A teacher could set up a microschool with just 12 students and pull in $239,988 in revenue each year.

I trust science. It’s never asked me to stone anyone.
Wow.
On the same page, the NEA erases the 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust (instead referring to victims "from different faiths, ethnicities, races," etc), and wants to educate members on the extremely important topic of the difference between antizionism and antisemitism.
