• When Fidel Castro banned professional sports from Cuba in 1962, the career dreams of thousands of boxers disappeared. Prior to Castro's revolution, the sport had done well, and many world-class fighters came from Cuba. Although professional boxing remains banned, Cuban boxing has managed to thrive at the amateur level, producing an impressive number of Olympic champions. In fact, Cuba holds the record for the most gold medals won in boxing from 1972 to the present.

• Let's consider why some people stop taking antidepressants prematurely너무 이르게. 조산적으로. Antidepressants are commonly prescribed to help treat clinical depression. They essentially work by restroring the balance of mood-regulating neurochemicals in the brain. But these changes take time to occur. In fact, most people who use antidepressants don't experience an improvement in symptons until two to six weeks later. In some cases, even after six weeks, patients may still not feel any positive effects. At this point, they might require a higher dose or a different type of antidepressant It often takes several attempts to find the right antidepressant and dose for each patient. Unfortunately, many of them give up long before this mark, and some do so abruptly. That's never advised, as it increases the risk of unpleasant side effects, which can last for weeks or even months after one discontinues 사용을 중단하다 the drug.
