LAKEWOOD, Colo. â Inside Pinnacle Interventional Psychiatry in Lakewood, the patients they treat have experienced some extreme lows.
âI hit rock bottom a couple years ago,â said Michelle, a patient. âI was on the edge of suicide.â
Michelle was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and anxiety.
âI was always stuck,â she said. âI just had the blues, the blahs, I couldnât get out of bed. I couldnât be positive, I couldnât be motivated. Zoloft, Wellbutrin, you name it, Iâve been on it.â
A Life of Service
George Mylander ’58, ’70, ’03 (Hon.)
Bowling Green State University mourns the loss of alumnus and long-time friend Dr. George Mylander ’58, ’70, ’03 (Hon.) who passed away Sunday morning in Sandusky, Ohio, at the age of 83.
Mylander was a visionary supporter of BGSU Firelands and nurtured opportunities for students from the beginning. His support came full circle when, in September 2014, the University broke ground for an addition to the North Building and commemorated the renaming of the West Building as George Mylander Hall in honor of his educational leadership and generosity.
At the ceremony, Mylander gave a passionate recital of the alma mater, leaving many audience members teary-eyed, which Mylander later said showed “how much BGSU means to all of us.”
Experts say severe reactions and side effects to the second dose of the COVID vaccine are common, especially in young people. But, they say, that should not be a deterrent to getting the vaccine.
