Let’s glance back at some of the topics I covered this week here at Mental Health Notes. I shared pictures during Sunday’s Brain Break, mused on the mental health repercussions for the FLDS religious sect children, explained why being kind to the earth (and not just on Earth Day!) was good for our minds, offered […]

First up, let me refresh your memory regarding some of the more interesting things that went on at Mental Health Notes this week: The Lolcats paid us a visit, Boston Legal made me proud, the folks opposing the postpartum […]

Boston Legal Takes On Mental Illness Once Again

Tonight’s episode of Boston Legal was an emotional one for me. Sure, Alan Shore’s closing arguments get me fired up and ready to start changing the world every Tuesday night, but tonight’s episode was particularly engaging.
And, it was Shirley’s closing argument - not Alan’s - that did it for me. The frank, bottom line closing […]

Treat Your Brain To FOX’s New Amsterdam

Did anyone watch New Amsterdam last night? That new FOX show about the brilliant New York City homicide detective who happens to be immortal and, um, over three centuries old?
I’m in the process of becoming a devoted viewer. Now, don’t misunderstand me. Nothing can take Prison Break’s place in my heart (not even a new […]

Saturday Sanity: Your Brain Begs For It.

What does a NAMI National employee, an Oxford University graduate, Heath Ledger, and Britney Spears have in common? They’re all highlights in this week’s Saturday Sanity - and, if I do say so myself, today’s batch of sanity-worthy links are well worth zoning out in front of the computer for a couple of hours.

If you […]

Implied Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Report: 121 veterans linked to killings
Yahoo! News published the above article this morning, and I’m willing to bet it has more than just a little bit to do with the recent murder of pregnant Camp Lejeune-based marine Lance Cpl. Maria Lauterbach and her unborn child.

Religion, ESP, And Light Therapy For Bipolar Disorder

From anxiety levels among religious women to testing for ESP, this Saturday Sanity is sure to teach you something new.

A Dose Of Sanity This Holiday Season

When I received this in my email Wednesday morning, I knew it was all we needed for this week’s Saturday Sanity:

John Gebhardt’s (the man pictured) wife, Mindy, said that this little girl’s entire family was executed. The insurgents intended to execute the little girl also, and shot her in the head…but they failed to kill […]
