...TIME has done a great disservice to mothers suffering from postpartum depression (PPD) [July 20]. You showed a clear lack of understanding about the seriousness of this illness, which affects 10% to 20% of new mothers. PPD impacts a mother's ability to function; it is not a "difficult period." It has many risk factors, not just a history of depression or anxiety. Although effective treatment is available, fewer than half of cases are recognized. Fewer of those women ever receive treatment.

One of the most widely accepted, commonly repeated assumptions in our culture is that if you exercise, you will lose weight. But I exercise all the time, and since I ended that relationship and cut most of those desserts, my weight has returned to the same...
...obesity figures have risen dramatically in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government's definition. Yes, it's entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even more if we exercised less. But like many other people, I get hungry after I exercise, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don't. Could exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?
