Well, occupational therapist surely knows what's best for our babies! I am happy to see her wishlist; I am sure that moms out there would love to have it too. Every item that was posted above has its own reason why it was there. Its purpose is to make a child's life better and brighter since what we want for our babies is the sense of comfortability. Well, it was late when I saw that there was a wish list for toddlers too. Parents should check this out! 11/8/2023 04:57:47 am
We treat depressive disorders at The Well Woman. Depression can be a symptom or disorder. People often casually describe their mood as “depressed” when it may be mild sadness that quickly goes away or just being in a “funk” that also quickly subsides. Many of us experience an occasional bad day when for no apparent reason we feel glum, irritable, or out of sorts. However, diagnosable or clinical depression lasts for more than a day or two and you do not just bounce back from a glum mood. There is often significant impairment in one’s life as a result of a depressed mood relating to sleep, appetite, thoughts, school or employment, and relationships. Leave a Reply. |
