Does this answer your question? Need a comma before an adverb as last word in sentence? Also Use of comma before adverb and Should there be a comma before “though” when it occurs at the end of a sentence? and Comma before “now” at end of sentence - and doubtless several more, *in fact*. – FumbleFingers Dec 08 '20 at 00:30

Yes and No! It depends on the sentence. Here are some examples:

If this means just that she’s sympathetic to the problems women face and interested in how they deal with those problems, well then of course.
