this morning in "your health." there is help for women suffering from postpartum depression. >> for the first time, the fda approved a pill that could help. >> marissa thompson has more. >> reporter: after the difficult birth and hospitalization of her first daughter, she said she suffered postpartum depression. >> i told my husband i didn't want to live any more. i really believed he and my daughter would be better off. >> reporter: it happened to rosa phillifter the birth ofer cond child. >> i felt standoffish and sad and crying and most people w y depression.

>> reporter: b women diagnosed with postpartum depression. symptoms include crying more than usual. feeling numb or disconnected from tab and worrying you will hurt your baby. this morning, the fda approving a drug which is a fast acting pill taken once a day for 14 days. rosa phillips was part of the clinical trial. >> i was able to go back to my normal self and enjoy my family. >> reporter: the manufacturing says zurzuvae is responsible for it is working in as little as . three days. >> it is so important we have treatments that can act quickly and current antidepressant therapy can take weeks to months to work.

>> reporter: news of zurzuvae is a great help for some. for suffering moms and families, time matters. anne thompson, nbc news. >> thanks to anne for that report. we want to bring in dr. natalie azar. thank you for joining us. how big of a breakthrough is this? you heard how terrifying post partum depression is for those moms. >> absolutely, kristen. in this instance, i think that is what we can absolutely say here. postpartum depression is a serious and sometimes life threatening medical condition and as anne pointed out in the piece, traditional anti anti-depresss take weeks. there was a sister drug approved years ago, but it is only

available through infusion a doctor's fice. women being able to take a pill at home that is safe and effective will change the landscape. you arffering fr can you tell nditionst w taking dication? >> absolutely. ink i'm cerly speg about myself and probably speaking to thousands of women who have been through postpartum depression. the baby blues are common a few weeks after child birth. it is normal to feel a little down or anxious about being a new mother, for example. postpartum depression is different. symptoms that linger and can happen any time in the first year after child birth and also start happening in the later stages of pregnancy. peter, the symptoms are the same as run-of-the mill depression, but what makes postpm unique is when theother is unable to care for the child orughts of hurting herself or her child.

that is the severe category and notmoderate. it can be a medical emergency. >> dr. azar, it is not for everyone who might be breast feeding. why is that? >> joe, the short answer is for mild-to-moderate depression, traditional treatments and interventions are still appropriate. that would include psychotherap an aanti-depressmedication. some women who are have suicidal thoughts or thoughts of hurting their child which becomes an emergency. today, there is not enough evidence to support safety in breast feeding. women on the two-week course of treatment are advised to use contraception during that time and for at least a week after stopping the medicine as it can

cause fetal harm. >> dr. azar, before we let you go, do you expect this to be covered by insurance? >> that's always the difficult thing. i mentioned other medications that are available by iv has a really, really high ticket price. any time something is fda approved, you know, it certainly facilitates that process of approval. you know, we don't know what the price tag of this is going to be. i wouldn't be surprised if some insurance companies require women potentially tried and failed anti-depressants. the rapid onset of action of women who need it, i'm hoping, insurance companies will fall in line and approve it for them. >> dr. azar, thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> an important topic and people openly talking about it. now we turn and check in with joe and "popstart." with joe and "popstart." >> still to come, how y can ou

zoo in ohio where zookeepers got a big surprise. plus, some areas are cooling off and others are experiencing wicked high temperatures have you ever wondered why water is so essential? our pal dr. john torres explains. >> reporter: water is essential for nearly every living thing on earth, including people. but why? for us humans, many of the jobs our body does need water in fact, every single cell in the body needs water to work it helps with movement like cushioning the joints and tissues, plays a big role in making saliva and digesting food and assists awith regulating boy temperature. how much water does a person need that depends on a few factors, like age, the temperature and what activities someone is doing. the common benchmark for water

is eight glasses a day, but we get water from a variety of sources, of course, from drinking it, but also through food fruits and vegetables have a lot of water, so does yogurt and soup and my favorite, popsicles. if it's hot outside or you're doing physical activity, you'll need more water because your body sweats, which is working to cool down. sweating uses a lot of water not having enough water can cause dehydration. that's when your body doesn't have the amount of water it needs to carry out normal functions. symptoms include thirst, dizziness and fatigue. most of the time dehydration can be reversed by drinking water and resting. in more severe cases, you may need to go to the doctor don't wait until you're super thirsty to start drinking water. you should drink it throughout the day. hydrating is not just for the summer

it's important to drink water all year round >> well, dr. john, i'll drink to that thank you very much. the heat wave this summer is also having an impact on an important part of our ecosystem, florida's coral reef our friend kristen dahlgren is here to explain what exactly is a coral reef. >> reporter: they are beautiful, dynamic and vital to human life. >> a coral reef is actually one of the most biodiverse ecosystems on earth. it's made out of a hundred to a thousand corals living together. they actually support over a quarter of all marine life underwater. >> reporter: they might look like rocks, but coral are actually living animals. >> the coral animal creates its own hard outer skeleton to protect its soft squishy body inside >> reporter: corals are actually some of the oldest animals on earth, even older than the dinosaurs.

coral reefs are super sized communities of these creatures, all living together. they support the lives of other animals. how? think of a coral reef like a big apartment building for all types of sea life. >> small fish, big fish, crabs or when animals want to hide from predators, they have a place to go and hide, or animals can lay their eggs when you snorkel on a reef and look at the corals, where you see corals, you'll most likely see vibrant, diverse, beautiful fish swimming and living throughout the coral reef. >> reporter: australia's great barrier reef is the largest coral reef in the world. number two is a reef in the caribbean sea called the meso american reef. the third biggest is right here at home, off the coast of florida. >> it's 360 miles long, almost exactly as how long the state of new york is. this directly supports marine life, but also people's livelihoods.

>> reporter: coral reefs are resilient and adaptable, but the recent heat wave is impacting their ability to survive water temperatures in florida this summer hit over 100 degrees, as hot as a jacuzzi sa ocean temperatures are putting stress on the coral, sparking widespread bleaching, which is when the coral loses its color and gets very sick. >> humans' normal temperature is 98 degrees when you're healthy how do you feel if your temperature is raised by two degrees and you have a fever of 100 or 102 you don't feel very good, right? this is what's happening similar to our corals. the water temperature is raising by multiple degrees and they have so-called a fever they cannot tolerate that stress, so they're dying at a very quick rate. >> reporter: marine scientists are worried. teams like the coral restoration foundation are bringing coral out of the ocean and into aquariums on land to protect

them from the heat with the help of noaa they're built a special bus to keep the coral safe on the drive from the ocean to the aquarium. the goal is to keep the coral happy and healthy until the waters cool down. >> the goal is to return them back to the underwater nurseries. >> reporter: there are some things you can do to help protect coral reefs, like using reef-safe sunscreen, no matter where you live why? because all waterways are connected. you can also recycle and keep trash out of the oceans and waterways. and be careful when swimming around coral reefs. >> they are animals. they are very fragile ecosystems don't touch them or pick them up, because they're important in doing humans a service as well. >> reporter: one of the most important things to remember about coral is that they are living beings, just like us. >> not only do they help support life of sea creatures and fish, but also they're connected to us

as well. they help protect us from strong storms and they help provide us food it's really important to protect the corals if you're a moon lover, the month of august is for you just a few days ago, the first of two so-called super moons illuminated the night sky as the moon neared its closest point to earth. the next super moon will occur later this month it got us thinking, just what is the moon all about the moon has captivated, fascinated and inspired us. >> i'm going to step off now. >> reporter: in 1969, astronauts neil armstrong and buzz aldrin became the first humans to land on the moon. >> one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. >> reporter: what we call the moon is actually just one of over 200 moons in our solar

system the earth's moon is the fifth largest moon orbiting planets in our solar system with a radius of approximately 1,080 miles according to nasa, if earth were the size of a nickel, the moon would be about as big as a coffee bean. the only natural satellite is simple called "the moon" because people didn't know other moons existed until galileo discovered other moons. it travels over 2,000 miles per hour the only thing in the sky that's brighter than the moon is the sun. one of our viewers wanted to learn more about the difference between the two. >> hello on memorial day, you talked about the sun. i want to know about the moon. how is it different from the sun? and if it is required for people

on earth to live thank you. please take care of yourself and each other good-bye now >> reporter: we asked our friend former astronaut mike massimino to explain. >> the sun is a star just like when you look up in the night and it's a star. it's much closer than the other stars. that's why it's big and bright and gives us energy. all of our solar system ound the sun the sun is mainlde of heliand hn the moon is much diffe scientists believe the moon was formed when a big object the size of a planet crashed into earth billions of years ago and shot up lots of rocks and material into space. that combined to form the moon so the moon is kind of like a big rock and it orbits around

our planet earth, much different than the sun, but still very important to us. so if we didn't have the moon, life would be much different here on earth, nbecause it affects our planet, particularly our oceans that, of course, affects the way that we live here on earth >> reporter: while the moon appears to glow in the night, it actually doesn't generate any light on its own in fact, it reflects light from the sun to illuminate the night sky. as it travels around the earth, different parts of the moon are lit up by the sun. that's why some nights it can look like a complete circle which is called a full moon and other nights all you see is a tiny sliver, which we call a crescent moon. on nights when it looks like the moon has disappeared, it's actually just hiding from the sun's rays this is what we call a new moon.

it means a new moon cycle is about to start so the next time you're outside after dark, keep an eye out fora companion in thear syste >> ryan, thanks for submitting thatat question. kiove yourstions, so keep them coming. time for pop quiz now. the subject, geography the question, which state is known as the ocean state is it california, florida or rhode island i'll give you a few seconds to think about it ♪ >> time's up the answer is rhode island rhode island's official nickname is the ocean state the state's shoreline runs 400 miles. just ahead for us, the soapbox derby. >> i raced down the hill i like going fast. >> we're there with details.

they made into bodies of the car. he thought that was kind of fun. >> the final heat sees a patched-up car that crashed in the first heat come through the winner the driver is 11-year-old joe of thomasville, georgia. >> the soapbox derby name came from the fact that in the '30s soap was sold in crates. some of the cars were built from soapboxes. >> reporter: the rest, as they say, is history. more than 300 young people from across the u.s. and around the world just competed in the 85th annual competition. >> we have three gdivisions in the competition, stock, which is for the novice 7-13-year-old kids then 9-18 in the super stock

challenges i say some problem solving skills as well there's a lot of aspects that i think you gain through this sport. the most important part for me is the people that you meet here, the excitement of going down the hill, the time with your family. >> reporter: it's all downhill from here. >> so much fun dave, thank you. finally, let's turn to the world of make-believe. pink seems to be the color of the summer many kids and grownups are heading to the theaters to see "barbie. how did this iconic doll become such a big part of american pop culture? drew hubbard takes a look. >> it's one of the must-see movies of summer for kids and grownups pink for barbie. barbie is having her moment on

the big screen. >> hi, barbie! >> hi, ken >> barbie has been around for a long, long time. >> the number one barbie doll is the first doll produced by mattell. >> barbie was created nearly 65 years ago by mattell >> at that time she saw her daughter barbara playing with paper dolls and imagining herself as a teenage woman and doing interesting things and being independent and trying on different careers. she realized there wasn't a real toy play experience that allowed girls to do that. >> reporter: named after ruth's daughter barbara, barbie's full name is barbara roberts. the doll was first introduced in 1959 >> prior to that, the only dolls

were baby dolls. this was a whole new category. >> reporter: barbie was the original fashion doll. >> this is the superstar barbie. >> reporter: meet carol spencer. she knows a thing or two about barbie. >> this is my first doll that actually came out. that was color magic barbie doll i changed the color on her hair. >> reporter: she designed the mini icon's wardrobe for more than 30 years. >> her fashion was slip on, wrap, snap and tie i grew to love designing for that little doll, because i could do real fashion in miniature, and i really kept up with the time. so i had lots of fun doing everything that was trendy all through those years. believe me, that was fun but she became my muse, the little gal who's sitting on my shoulder

she's like a friend. >> reporter: carol designed everything from swimwear to dresses to pantsuits and more. >> i love poodle dogs, so this fashion got a poodle dog i made it out of pipe cleaners and pompoms. >> reporter: among her favorite designs? >> this is my favorite that is the first doll that bore my name as designer on the box. >> reporter: in addition to keeping up with fashion, barbie also had a lot of different jobs ♪ >> reporter: the doll has grown and evolved over the years, and her body type has changed too. several years ago, critics argued the doll presented an unrealistic message about girls. so after listening to consumers, a new generation of barbie dolls were born. >> we knew it was an important opportunity to connect with kids in their formative years and set positive examples. we started on the journey almost

ten years ago to think differently about and revolutionize her body to make it more diverse and introduce more skin tones and ethnicities, introduce dolls with physical disabilities and to help kids see themselves in this product line, but also to have empathy for others through our product. >> reporter: the doll line is diverse. there's well over 175 types of dolls in the collection. one of the newest dolls this year, the first barbie with down syndrome >> this is more like me, because it has the same condition. it's a skin condition where your skin starts to turn white. like i have some on my hands and her hands also has some. so i was like, that's cool.
