Kids, Covid-19 and Nightmares Kids, Covid-19 and Nightmares Article by: Dr. Kari Moskowitz It’s a scary time right now–as hard as it is for adults, the difficulty is magnified for kids, who don’t have the capacity to think in the same way as adults and understand why they are being restricted. When kids are scared […]
My specialty is reproductive psychology, as several clinicians that I work with also specialize in. So one would think that I should be “over-the-moon” happy about the new FDA approval of brexanolone (brand name, “Zulresso”).
