NYU Reproductive Psychiatry Program gets anonymous gift worth $500,000
This is certainly a great gift for women everyone. The New York University Langone Medical Center through its Reproductive Psychiatry Program reportedly received an anonymous gift amounting to $500,000 in a widespread support for the program to expand its services to women suffering from postpartum depression and other disorders that are reproductive-related.
Reproductive Psychiatry Program Director Dr. Shari Lusskin said that these kinds of psychiatric disorders suffered by women are often undertreated or under-diagnosed. This led for them to call for continuous improvement of the program wherein doctors can now assign appropriate treatments for each individual female patient. Luskin that the gift they just received will certainly help them continue to research better methods to advance mainstream psychiatry and at the same time come up with more reliable information to disseminate to the public.
The program is currently working to help alleviate the suffering of women with psychiatric disorders that are related to their reproductive life cycle and at the same time educate the others about these conditions. The officials revealed that the amount given was beyond their needed amount for additional research. The extra funding will serve as a back-up for future research.
