The Mental Health Connection: Deciding on Medications

by Katie Butler APRN of Atlanta Specialized Care for The Aha! Connection

One of my favorite phrases is “storms don’t last forever.” Life presents challenges that can impact our day-to-day functioning. These ups and downs should be transient.

Audra’s Review of book and movie: The Idea of You

by Audra H. Anders for The Aha! Connection

I pretty much always say “The book is better than the movie”. Now I have an exception.
