Ever want to know more about online support groups? Been curious and tempted to join one, but skeptical or unsure of how you’d benefit?
Well, you’re in luck. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) is having another online chat today, and this time the “guest” is DBSA Chapter Recruitment Manager Elizabeth Siegel who will talk […]
I ran across an interesting Web site the other day called I Dose, which claims to be “the perfect Binaural Beats experience.”
(If you don’t know what Binaural Beats do, I Dose offers a pretty decent layman’s explanation: “Playing tones with a slightly different frequency to each ear, cause the brain to recalculate the frequency, and […]
Back in June, I entered a giveaway at Hope Wilbanks’s Weighting Line and won a copy of Chef MD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine by John La Puma, M.D. and Rebecca Powell Marx. (I also won some chewing gum from Extra thanks to my random knowledge about The Biggest Loser, but, I digress.)

Have you all heard about Frank Calloway, the 112-year-old man who has lived in mental health hospitals and long-term care facilities since being diagnosed with schizophrenia in 1952?
What? An old guy living in a nursing home? What’s interesting about that? you may be wondering. Well, not much, but when you add in that Calloway is […]
Friday I asked you if mental health was going to play a role in the way you voted this November, and coincidentally, I received an email from Barack Obama Saturday letting me know about his stance on mental health parity.
Yeah, I know, I didn’t really get an email from Barack Obama, but after I sent […]
EDIT: Wendy has updated with the first, long(er) version of the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie trailer.
Anyone who’s read Mental Health Notes for any respectable amount of time knows I have a serious obsession with Harry Potter. Like, serious.
Even more serious than my obsession with Wentworth Miller Prison Break.
And that’s pretty serious.
So, like […]
It’s July 26, and for completely random reasons, it’s time for another edition of What Do You Really Want?
Since the last edition of What Do You Really Want?, there’s been a pretty well-balanced mix of serious and hilarious searches. So, I thought I’d represent them both. And, hopefully I’ve been able to point you in […]
Aside from suffering a would-be job disappointment, I had a pretty productive week. I got a good bit of work done, caught up with some snail mail, finally found the perfect collar for Chopper, hung flyers for our next NAMI meeting and ensured it would be announced on the news, in the paper, and in […]
This morning, Mental Health America’s Advocacy Network sent an email asking me (and anyone else who’s signed up for their emails) to sign a petition so they can “collect signatures from Americans who want the candidates and political parties to recognize the importance of mental health and substance use issues.” The petition will be delivered […]
Picture it: West Virginia, July 22, 2008. It was a particularly hot and humid summer day, when a dark-haired freelance writer decided to take a break from researching the real estate market in Texas and procrastinate by surfing the Web focus her attention instead on the news. Much to her dismay, she found out her […]
