Public-health experts, psychiatrists, obstetricians and social workers agree that many cases of depression during pregnancy are going undiagnosed or untreated. This is partly because American women tend to prefer a watch-and-wait approach to illness during pregnancy, says Dr. Shari Lusskin, director of reproductive psychiatry at the New York University (NYU) Langone Medical Center. Women's "hands-off method" - which may stem from an unwillingness to undergo treatment that could harm the fetus - combined with a general societal stigma that is still associated with depression, makes for a "'Don't ask, don't tell' sort of environment when...

As for the court ruling, bar-council president Ragunath Kesavan met Prime Minister Najib Razak on Thursday to discuss...
...Shabab's members are very clear about their objective: to overthrow Somalia's government and enact the strict Islamic law known as Shari'a. The group has banned music, videos, shaving and even bras in the areas it controls and maintains control through often brutal methods. Women accused of adultery are publicly stoned to death; teenaged thieves have had their limbs severed; one Somali said his brother was killed simply for selling phone cards to Ethiopian troops. Although Somalia is a majority Muslim nation, its faith has traditionally been far more moderate; the repressive al-Shabab is viewed by most...
