Dionysus in the News
It’s always a strange and gratifying moment when a problem you obsess over gets a big, shiny spotlight in a place like US News & World Report.
This week, that spotlight landed on postpartum depression, and our own Chief Medical Officer, the formidable Dr. Jennifer Payne, was featured as one of the experts helping to explain this under-treated crisis. She did a fantastic job of cutting through the noise, as she always does.

Of course, talking about it is only half the battle. The other half is actually doing something about it.
Which brings me to the better news: Next month, Dionysus is launching our text at clinics in Florida in collaboration with Mammha. We'll be working with partners across the state to bring our proactive, predictive model of care to mothers and families.
One step closer to making PPD a preventable condition, not an inevitable crisis.

- Peacemaker - you can do orgies on TV now?
- Wednesday - I can do without the teen angst and school drama dross, but I like the Adamseses.
