Stigmas around mental health and wellness often keep people from seeking professional help from licensed therapists when they need it most. Dr. Olivia Verhulst, licensed mental health counselor, joined Cheddar News to talk about benefits therapy sessions can offer and who exactly should be seeking them out. "Therapy really is for everybody. There is this idea out there that you need a humdinger of a reason to come to therapy or a trauma or diagnosis but at the end of the day, the human condition is condition enough to seek therapy," she said.
Data shows that 20% to 80% of women will develop fibroids by age 50. Cheddar News explains as Fibroid Awareness month allows people a chance to learn about the painful condition.
The heat wave continues to break records across the country with Phoenix recording 19 straight days of over 110 degrees as the southwestern cities are also coming close to records as well. Iran recorded a heat index of 152 degrees on Sunday with high temperatures affecting a big portion of the planet.
July is Fibroid Awareness Month, and it's an opportunity to raise awareness for uterine fibroids, a painful condition estimated to impact a staggering 26 million women nationwide. Cheddar's own Ashley Mastronardi spoke to one woman who shares her life-changing experience with fibroids.
