Earlier today, “Jane” shared her experiences soliciting the help of the Amen Clinics for her son. Her story highlighted - from a mother’s perspective - some of the same grief, despair, frustrations, and successes lots of people go through as they try to find a balance among psychiatrists and therapists, good mental health treatment, and […]
I recently met a very insightful woman (with whom I’ve had some just as insightful conversations!) and through her I’ve learned about the Amen Clinics, one of which provided her family with help during a troubled time for her son’s mental health.
You see, the Amen Clinics are brain imaging centers that offer “brain SPECT imaging, […]
For some reason, there wasn’t really any mental health advocacy news to report this week. Ah, it’s just as well. The sun is shining and my dog wants to play.
Enjoy your Saturday!
This week at Mental Health Notes, I kept things mostly light. Tickets for Broadway’s revival of Equus went on sale, and UK mental health […]
This week at Mental Health Notes, I recommended checking out John La Puma and the book he wrote with Rebecca Powell Marx, Chef MD’s Big Book of Culinary Medicine, as well as I Dose, which claims to be “the perfect Binaural Beats experience.” I also introduced you to Frank Calloway and the Cover America Tour, […]
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.)
I initially entered […]
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 […]
I received an interesting email about some folks down under (i.e. in Australia) who are working together to develop an online self-help program for people with bipolar disorder.
The program is MoodSwings, and the creators of MoodSwings (a hefty group of psychiatrists and psychologists with experience in both bipolar disorder and online programs) are currently seeking […]
b5media’s Health & Wellness Channel theme for this month is “Independence.” Quite appropriate, given America’s Independence Day celebration each year on the Fourth of July; however, American or not, everyone can celebrate independence from ignorance when it comes to prescription medication.
I could have chosen various subjects related to mental health from which we can become […]
Boy, when I fall into a blogging slump, I really fall into a blogging slump, huh? This is the second week in a row I’ve not offered up more than one post a day here at Mental Health Notes and, honestly, that blows.
However, in my defense (what little bit of defense I have), I have […]
When I read about the California Board of Parole’s decision to deny a compassionate release for former Manson family member Susan Atkins who is dying from brain cancer, a myriad of thoughts took over my mind:
Why shouldn’t Atkins be released? I mean, not only has she had a leg amputated and not only is the […]
