Common Health Problems & Medical Conditions

Up to date insight on common health problems & medical conditions from Harvard Medical School

Health news and information is everywhere these days — from sound bytes on the TV news shows to health sections in major magazines and newspapers, to the flood of information available on the Internet. Regrettably, not all of this health information is accurate or tells the complete story — and some of it is downright misleading. Concerned health-conscious people want credible, authoritative, accurate information on common medical conditions from a source they can trust. And there is no more trustworthy source of health information and advice than Harvard Medical School.

Harvard Health Publications and the faculty of Harvard Medical School publish five health newsletters and more than 50 in-depth special health reports that cover a wide spectrum of Common Medical Conditions. The five monthly newsletters — the Harvard Health Letter, Harvard Heart Letter, Harvard Women’s Health Watch, Harvard Men’s Health Watch, and the Harvard Mental Health Letter — are designed to deliver up-to-date health news, research developments, new prevention strategies, latest treatment protocols and medications — and put this information in perspective for the concerned health consumer. The Harvard Special Health Reports provide an in-depth understanding of specific medical conditions, providing the complete picture for that health concern. These publications provide the knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your health and well-being.
