Happy Friday!
Learn about gene therapy!
I’m sure you’ve heard of gene therapy- but maybe don’t understand it that well? Scientific American has a nice article explaining it: “How does gene therapy work?“. Its written in plain English and isn’t too long so its a great opportunity to learn about it.
Depression
At b5media it was the Health & Wellness Channel’s monthly theme day and this month was about depression. Many of the bloggers there wrote some nice posts about depression. Here are a few:
Question and Answer session with a long-time sufferer
Breast Cancer Can Cause Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
In Honor Of Mental Health Awareness: Are You REALLY Happy?
Heart Disease And Depression/Anxiety: It Is Directly Related.

Labor Pain Relief
At Our Bodies, Our Blog they an Expanded Discussion of Nitrous Oxide for Labor Pain Relief. This isn’t a topic I know much about. Actually, I knew nothing about it, but the discussion seemed very educational to me.
Fibromyalgia
Cynthia Armistead was interviewed by ABC News about Fibromyalgia!
Challenging us to think differently
“Rather than accepting aging as an inevitable aspect of life, they are instead encouraging society to view aging as a disease—something to be treated. This is a profound paradigm shift, but is it any more profound than Copernicus telling people 500 years ago that they were not at the center of the universe? History has a way of demonstrating that the future often turns out much different than most people appreciate and that what constitutes “conventional wisdom” in one era is laughed at and mocked by future generations. Our “acceptance” of death might be one such issue.” from 10 Reasons You Will Live to 1000.
Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the link, Trisha! b5media’s Health & Wellness Channel’s theme day topic was actually “mental health,” so readers will find information about mental health stigma, happiness, post-traumatic stress disorder, positive self-images and anger in addition to depression.

Gene therapy is the process of inserting genes into human cells and tissues for the treatment of diseases, including hereditary diseases. Gene therapy can also involve the use of stem cells.
Thanks for mentioning links.
