Children of addicts deserve our protection

by Dr. Micaela Wexler As has become common, we were spared no details as yet another beautiful mind was stolen from us by addiction, this time heroin. Given Philip Seymour Hoffman’s frank honesty about his struggles with substance abuse in his youth and his recent relapse, I would like to think he would want the […]

Lose weight with sleep!

By Dr. Micaela Wexler Are you overweight? Are you getting enough sleep?

SAD? Or just blue?

By Dr. Micaela Wexler Are you feeling the post-holiday let down? After all the parties are over and the guests have left, many people feel anxiety, disappointment and depression. That is normal.

Depressed parents: survive snow days!

By Dr. Micaela Wexler Battling depression is hard enough for people who do not have children, but for those who do, it is truly heroic.

More suicides during the holidays?

By Dr. Micaela Wexler Holidays are associated with a higher suicide rate. Is this true? It turns out that this is largely a myth.
