Health Tips of the Week
- Individuals taking a medication to treat depression may experience changes in their personality separate from the alleviation of depressive symptoms according to JAMA.
- Young adults with higher blood lead levels appear more likely to have major depression and panic disorders, even if they have exposure to lead levels generally considered safe.
- Social isolation and related stress could contribute to human breast cancer susceptibility, research from a rat model designed to identify environmental mechanisms contributing to cancer risk shows.

8 Effective Tips to Make Your Resolutions Stick
We have been through many ordeals this past year from the recession to relationship karma.
