Favorite Stories of 2023
This year, readers were captivated by the story of a young college student who suddenly develops a psychotic episode and becomes catatonic. It took 20 years to solve the mystery of her illness, and a chance encounter with a doctor who had been troubled by a patient's incident during her medical student days.
This is the story of April Burrell and the doctor determined to help her. This is an uplifting story about both science and the human spirit. I hope you enjoy it.
healthy eating tips
I learned a lot about healthy eating from Anahad O'Connor. Anahad O'Connor's Meal Lab column remains one of his favorite features on Well + Being. You will never hear Anahad tell you to diet or deprive yourself. Instead, his advice focuses on how you can add healthy foods to your daily eating routine. He recently compiled a year's worth of advice into this informative column, along with his seven favorite tips.
