A New Treatment for PPD; Outdoor Dining's Future; Advice With Slate's Dear Prudie (and Brian)
The Brian Lehrer Show | Aug 10, 2023
On today's show:
- Last week, the FDA approved the first ever pill specifically intended to treat postpartum depression. Nicole Cirino, MD, reproductive psychiatrist, chief of division of reproductive psychiatry, professor at Baylor College of Medicine, and Postpartum Support International board member, provides an expert look at Zurzuvae, the new medication which could help the estimated 1 in 8 women in the United States experiencing symptoms of depression after giving birth.
- The City Council recently passed a new bill with rules for outdoor dining. Councilmember Marjorie Velázquez (District 13, East Bronx including Throggs Neck, Pelham Parkway, Morris Park, Pelham Bay, Pelham Gardens, Schuylerville, Country Club, Locust Point, and Westchester Square, as well as parts of Allerton and Van Nest) talks about what it will look like moving forward, and what restaurants will need to do to comply.
- In the first installment of a summer advice series, Brian is joined by Jenée Desmond-Harris, writer and host of Slate's Dear Prudence podcast and column, to offer advice to listeners struggling with a dilemma, and callers weigh in with their opinions.
