What's the biggest health myth you've heard that you'd like to bust? Mine is that supplements are always a healthier option than prescription or OTC meds. A lot of the supplements on the shelf contain all types of unnatural ingredients and can still be harmful depending on the dosage.

I'd like to dispell the myth that prescriptions are not helpful to those who deal with mental health disorders. Consulting with a psychiatrist and starting at a low dosage helps with controlling side effects, but they have and can help many people lead great lives who could not have oherwise.

What do you guys think about apps like BetterHelp and Talkspace?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area.

Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!
