Situated right next to Hamburg’s red-light district with a history of anti-establishment ethos, FC St. Pauli are defined as a club built to defy norms. Since their inception over a century ago, Die Kiezkicker (Neighbourhood kickers) have regularly gone against the grain with a fanbase that is unashamedly political and diverse.

Today, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved zuranolone, the first oral medication indicated to treat postpartum depression (PPD) in adults.
