7:15 am
what i want to convey is this can happen to anyone at any age. and while we know that the risk of stroke does increase if you're over 65, three-quarters of strokes happen in populations over 65, the risk doubles every ten years over the age of 55. there's still a fair percentage of people who have strokes in their younger ages. we also have seen an increase in the incidents of strokes in a younger population. whether that's because we're diagnosing them more often or because there's an increase in risk factors, things like high blood pressure and diabetes. it's really unclear. but the big message to young people is, look, you need to understand that you're at risk. understand what your risk factors are. importantly, recognize symptoms. time is brain. every minute that goes by in a large stroke, you lose 2 million brain cells. this damage is irreversible. it's very important to act on symptoms, even if you think they go away, even if you think they're not a big deal. you need to get to the hospital because treatments require intervention in a short window of time.
7:16 am
>> symptoms like what? >> numbness or tingling in an arm or leg, inability to see well or confusion or trouble walking or difficulty with your speech or facial droop, lack of coordination, massive headache. any of those things. >> and 80% of strokes are preventable. >> yes. >> stop s>> exactly. controlling blood pressure, which is very important, stopping smoking, controlling your weight, diet, exercise. all the same things we talk about for heart disease. >> thank you. >> thank you, tara. very surprising to get that news yesterday. thank you. two young sisters who survived alone in the california wilderness for nearly two days are telling their story today. rescuers found caroline and leia carrico near grove state park. that was on sunday. the girls are now recovering at their home. they were found alive and very well about a mile and a half from their house. jamie yuccas is in los angeles with how the massive rescue effort went down. >> reporter: good morning. the girls' parents say it's normal for them to play
7:17 am
unsupervised on their 80-acre property, but this time around, the sisters found themselves in unfamiliar territory and unsure how to get home. >> i said to go a little farther. >> reporter: 5-year-old caroline and her 8-year-old sister leia went a little bit too far during a hike in the woods behinder that ho-- behind their home on friday. when they didn't return, their frantic parents reported them missing. >> awful. terrified and guilty. >> spent two days crying my eyes out, looking everywhere we could think of to look. >> reporter: while their parents feared the worst, older sister leia was going into survival mode. >> it was starting to drizzle, so i knew we had to find shelter fast. and we had my sister's we turned it sideways so each of us had an arm hole. >> reporter: realizing they couldn't make it home, leia tried to keep her little sister calm. >> my sister cried the whole

8:06 am
>> anti-depressants didn't help much. and over the next five years, kayla got so desperate, she tried to kill herself three times. then she started ketamine infusions at this clinic. >> i didn't have suicidal thoughts every day, which i used to have, and i just felt a weight lifted off my shoulders. >> traditional anti-depressants work on neurotransmitters that help nerves in the brain communicate. ketamine targets a difference one gould glutamate and works much faster than other drugs. >> what we've heard from patients who have gotten ketamine is, wow, this is what it feels like to be normal. they never thought they were going to feel that way again. it's very dramatic. >> reporter: dr. dennis charney the street where it's called special k. how does it make people feel there? >> what the individual is
8:07 am
looking for when they take special k is a feeling of highness, an out of body experience. and this in general was not a major issue when you take the lower doses that are needed to feel better from depression. >> each of kayla's current treatments costs $475. and they are not reimbursed by insurance. if the fda approves the nasal spray version, it will likely be covered. for kayla, that's reason enough to see if it works just as well as the infusions. >> it really helps your entire life. not just, oh, let's get high for an hour and then go back to a depressing life. it's more -- it changes your life in a positive way. >> this newest spray has to be administered under a doctor's supervision and is only for those who have failed at least two anti-depressants. dr. charney says if anti-depressants are working for you, stick with them. >> this sounds really promising.
8:08 am
what are the risks associated with the ketamine spray? >> oversaidation, blood pressure and pulse can go up. with any new treatment you have to follow it as more patients are being treated and find if there are new side effects and how effective it is. >> how long does the treatment last? >> it's been given in varying doses. can be once a week, twice a week as a spray and sometimes you have to keep giving it week after week after week and it can wear off. one of the things we'll see is, can you stop or do you have to just keep giving it over time. so a lot of questions remain unanswered. it's something for people who are so depressed. and they have that feeling. my patients who have that say it's like you're sinking to the bottom of the earth and there's no stopping you. and one of the things the anti-depressants that work, it gives your feet a bottom. maybe it's not a happy pill but you'll not sink lower than that. that feeling of stability means a lot. >> just to give people hope. thank you, jon. cases of alleged sex abuse

in our series, the world of mothers, we look at what motherhood means in difference countries around the globe. this morning we're going to finland which is consistently ranked one of the best places to be a mom. the country's praise for its low infant and mother mortality rates, paid maternity leave and health care and day care systems. as holly williams found out, the government of w moms a big old gift. she joins us from istanbul,
8:16 am
turkey, where she's based. holly, good morning. >> good morning. as you can probably see, i am b month so i'm no longer doing any travel for work but a few weeks ago, i went to finland to see what exactly they are getting right when it comes to motherhood and how they're doing it. a woman in labor has gone into cardiac arrest. these medics need to save her life and her baby. but this patient is just a mannequin, and here at helsinki university hospital, they hold emergency drills like this one once a week. finland's health care system has helped give it the lowest maternal death r and it's available here to everyone for next to nothing. dr. iden techi.
8:17 am
every woman gets a private room and the option of a water birth. >> 100 euros you will pay and of that you'll get almost 50% back as reimbursement. >> that's under $60 to have a baby compared with the u.s. where the average natural birth costs over $12,000. and insurance doesn't cover all of it. can what finland is doing be replicated in a country like the u.s.? >> definitely. >> you are saying there's no reason that the u.s. can't achieve this? >> no. no reason. just pure politics. >> the maternal death rate in d, they'ut it in y doubled half. at a play group in helsinki, we met laura smith from detroit who is living here with her finnish husband and their ten-month-old baby ella. maternal death rates are even higher for african-american women.
8:18 am
one of the reasons she chose to have ella in finland instead of back home. >> my concerns mattered. my voice mattered. they saw me. they took care of me no matter what i look like. and that's something i couldn't be certain about in the states. so when you come back -- >> reporter: mother and baby are also entitled to free checkups. >> these are vaccinations. >> reporter: and when ella goes to day care, that will cost less than $100 a week. it's all paid for with tax dollars. the wealthy hand over much more in finland than the u.s. >> we are collecting a lot of taxes, but if you go and ask from the thifinns, are they oka with it, everybody says, yes. we have good use with that system. >> reporter: the system began in the 1930s when finland started handing out free baby boxes to new families filled with basic necessities. >> oh, look.
8:19 am
it's a baby -- >> reporter: they're still giving them out today. the box doubles as a cot. and the government also wants parents to spend time with their babies. in finland, you're guaranteed around four months paid maternity leave by law. and parents can split another six months paid parental leave, though not at the same time. for ellen and julian, that's more time spent with their three daughters. >> in some parts of the u.s., you get no paid maternity leave. >> how do you do then? >> reporter: the long, frozen winter in finland is hard. but this is one country where they are trying to make parenthood easier. nobody who we met in finland bragged about their success. rather, they are trying to figure out how to improve things further. by encouraging more fathers to take paternity leave and that government minister who you just saw is trying to figure out how
8:20 am
to encourage finns to have more babies because despite all of those benefits, the birth rate in finland is declining. gayle? >> that's an interesting nugget. thank you. holly williams reporting from istanbul. tomorrow on cbs this morning, we continue our world of mother series in kenya. we'll take you to a tiny village in northern kenya where young women have escaped domestic violence and are learning to become mothers in areas where men are banned. i like how they're thinking in finland. >> i was there last summer. mothers could drop off their children in a park and there are paid nannies to take care of the kids. >> society needs to decide how they're going to pay for it? 24% sales tax. i'm reading the minimum tax rate, individual tax rate is about 25%. and so if americans decide they want to pay more and they trust their government to do that, these are the outcomes you can have. america has made a different
8:21 am
choice. >> and some have say they've made the choice have to 50 million uninsured and they've decided that's okay. so it's certainly something -- >> also a much smaller country. >> that's why we do these stories. >> they are talkers. >> see, children are valuable, and they are. in the days leading up to international women's day on friday, the cbs this morning podcast is featuring conversations with inspiring and influential women. today, ruth carter. the first black american to win an oscar for best costume design. go, ruth. she discusses how she created the iconic looks for the superhero blockbuster "black panther." ruth has been at it a long time. kudos to her. listen wherever you like to get your podcast. social media influencers go as far as they can to change our behavior. new evidence that children's eating is affected by what they see online. you're watching "cbs this morning."

8:34 am
jackson of abuse. >> i didn't believe or understand that the sexual stuff that happened between michael and i was abuse. at that point it was -- i loved michael. michael loved me. this was something that happened between us. that's it. i had absolutely no understanding that i was affected. or any feeling that i was affected negatively. it is estated that in nellegati girls and one in 53 boys are sexually abused or assaulted by an adult. dr. veronique valliere is a clinical psychologist working with offenders and survivors of child sexual abuse, she's trained prosecutors and law enforcement how to interview the victims which she joins us at the table. i had you on speed dial last weekend because i had questions about how to interview the
8:35 am
victims. i thank you, you were very, very helpful to me. >> appreciate that. >> one of the things you pointed out was that wade and james, and most sexual abusers, or many of them, take some time to come forward. and they will lie on the stand. as these boys admitted. repeatedly. you were not surprised to hear that. >> oh, absolutely not. i mean, when you think about it, no is the easiest lie to tell, first of all, but second of all the layers of choice to protect are very deep with victims. there's a self-protection, of shame, and blame. they may feel responsible or culpable for the abuse, especially if the offender grooms them with saying, you know, this is our secret. we'll go to jail. >> you said it's harder for boys in particular too. >> right. >> why? >> well, especially back when michael jackson was being accused, home sexuality was more
8:36 am
shameful and so there's things that go with boys, including they're not socialized to talk about vulnerability or they have a greater sexual response. a lot of their sexual abuse doesn't hurt and produces a sexual response in the child which can be very confusing. >> i'm reminded of the larry nassar scandal, when this doctor was abusing these children too, some of them were doctors themselves, and the parents. how do parents not know and how do parents look for the warning signs, even by somebody powerful that they respect? >> that used on a question for me, a struggle for me when i first started this work with offenders. when i finally understood how doo deeply killed they are at exploiting, weaponizing, thingsd niceness, they exploit all the things that we consider, make us good people. >> you said beware the power of nice. >> right. >> what do you mean, what do you mean? >> nice is an extremely powerful
8:37 am
