Great Myths of the Brain

The myth that we only use 10% of our brains has been around for decades. Scientific research on the brain has proven that old myth wrong. Now, lets look at the myth that pregnant women lose their minds. Is this really true? A study on prenatal-depression was conducted by Dr. Marcia Lutgendorf in 2003. The results showed that more than half of all depressed mothers experience symptoms of depression during pregnancy and postpartum. However, only 14% reported this to their doctors. Also, many of these women did not realize that they were depressed until they were asked by a health care provider.
