Last night, as I glanced at my Yahoo! homepage was quenching my thirst for knowledge, I found out that of the nearly 31,000 handgun-related deaths in America in 2005, 55 percent were suicides. The article was written in light of last week’s Supreme Court ruling on gun ownership, and also states:
Public-health researchers have concluded that […]
Because Celebrity Health Week was winding down, we didn’t have Saturday Sanity last Saturday.
Let’s see if we can get caught up, shall we?
This week at Mental Health Notes, I spent most of my time trying to get away from the topic of celebrities. I shared with you a study regarding the aroma of coffee and […]
This is a few days old, but I expect it will stir up some controversy for perhaps years to come - especially for the family members and loved ones of the victims.

What’s next for Sen. Edward M. Kennedy? Conquering the world?

Once Kennedy recovers from the 3 1/2 hours of brain surgery he successfully underwent yesterday at Duke University Medical Center (during this recovery time, doctors will […]

I’ve mentioned before that I come from a pretty long line of military and war veterans. My grandfathers, various uncles, and my daddy were all soldiers.
