I'm actually curious about the AIDS one, which part is the lie out of curiosity? The existence of acquired immunodefiency from HIV? something else?

Wouldn't surprise me if the person who typed this supports banning abortion, reads exactly the same.

Care to share where that sentiment comes from? Also, a bit ironic considering the recent n of 1 trial they approved for DMD.
Have you heard of the oncologist that did a murder suicide on her 4 month old baby in Westchester this weekend? Not every disease has the luxury of waiting around decades for safety and efficacy fact sheets.

It sounds unethical to conduct human trials on babies when the mother could simply stop breastfeeding while taking the medication. I wonder if doctors recommend that for this or other drugs? I'd hope they inform the mother at the very least.

The chemistry of your brain literally changes, so yes, it's an issue that pharmaceuticals can help with tremendously. I am often the first person to rail against overprescribing of medication, particularly psychiatric medication, but this is categorically a Good Thing. And nothing in the article suggests this is anywhere close to a "just take this pill" type of treatment. This is part of a holistic treatment plan. Al…
The brain is an electrochemical machine. Your brain chemistry changes when you're happy, hungry, sad, angry, bored, horny, sleeping; pretty much every human experience is mediated through brain chemistry changes.

My wife is scared shitless of postpartum depression. People don't think of it as a problem because it's a "woman issue" and not a big deal. Coupled with the medical profession being notorious for discounting black womens' issues, I don't blame her for being scared. We'll be first in line for getting the pill if she needs it.
If you think this is a risk, have a plan for it, and not just for her. For you as well. The knock on effects of trying to do everything for the newborn, manage your partner’s symptoms and help in their treatment, and try to sleep while furiously doing laundry, cooking, scrubbing bottles, etc… you need support. You need people staying with you 24/7, people that aren’t on some vacation with a couple photo ops with the…
That's really kind advice - I appreciate it. Luckily the folks pretty close-by, but you spelling all of that out really changes my perspective how hard it'll be.
We got a young puppy a year back now which seemed like good practice - with the lack of sleep, constant attention, constant pooping/peeing. But yea, a baby's absolutely going to be another level's worth of difficult.

I thought a puppy was similar too, but we get a puppy at like 8 weeks old and someone else did the early care. The early care, when you have to feed constantly and you can’t even put them down in a bouncer to sleep… it’s taxing.
But worth it. I was just reading my 2 year old a book before bed and I can confirm that it gets better. They are a lot of fun.

okay all that may have happened but HIV also causes AIDS in cases where there are no party drugs and poppers
the t cell count lowers until your body isnt fighting anything anymore, due to the HIV virus’ continual rapid mutations

#90A little surprised at how often they repeated "in adults." Is there any reason to believe this would be ineffective for teen mothers?
A general "stopping point" for human brain development tends to be around 25 years old, iirc. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that antidepressants might not function as well for teenagers- I certainly went through a fair few before going without any for a few years, and ending up on (and staying on) Lexapro when I was around 30.
