A recent study showed that brain inflammation was 30% higher in individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) than others without the disorder.1 OCD is characterized intrusive thoughts, images, or impulses creating emotional distress. Individuals with OCD are severely inhibited in their interactions with others, and daily life due to these experiences.2 Center for Addiction and Mental […]

The Power of Touch
A new study, looking at “interpersonal synchronization,” shows that when male partners touch their female partner’s hands during a painful experience, the pain is diminished.1 This could be an important role of fathers-to-be in the labor and delivery room (which was the motivation of the study), but also is insightful to how pain may be […]
Breastfeeding Could Lower Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke for Moms!
A recent study shows supporting evidence that breastfeeding could impact the health of the mother in new ways; lowering stroke and heart attack risk.1 It is generally accepted that breastfeeding is superior to formula feeding of infants.
