Written by leaders in this field and sponsored by the American Academy of Neurology, Restless Legs Syndrome explains what is known about RLS, including its causes and manifestations, and what can be done to manage it. Specific chapters cover treatments, including drug and non-pharmalogic therapy, RLS in children, lifestyle changes, resources, and more.

Grief Unseen: Healing Pregnancy Loss Through the Arts

Grief Unseen: Healing Pregnancy Loss Through the ArtsLaura Seftel did a tremendous job, writing this unique piece of work about people who experience pregnancy loss. Pregnancy loss often means an invisible loss, because we tend to keep early pregnancy a secret. People can easily remain silent about it because many of us are afraid to grieve and the people around us encourage us to move on. Also it is important to acknowledge that it is a real loss, is Laura's message. So for every loss, we need a healing process. We need to express our feelings and emotions and this takes a lot of time. This unseen grief has no shape, but Laura encourages us to develop personal forms of expression through the arts. By writing, making art and creating rituals we can materialize this loss and share it with others.
