Mental Health Notes Is Goin’ To The Chapel!

2007 Reasons To Unload Your Guilt

This would be a nice shout out during an upcoming Saturday Sanity, but I think it deserves its own post.

7 Gifts For The Mental Health Consumer

OK, so yesterday I told you the five things my brain would love for Christmas, but since I doubt any of you want to shell out the money for any of that stuff (honestly, what’s Dave’s going rate these days?), you’re probably more interested in what to get the other mental health patients and advocates […]

The Top 5 Things My Brains Wants For Christmas

For the Science & Health Channel’s theme day last week, Laura from CFS Squared had the cutest idea. She wrote a letter to the North Pole - that’s right, to Mr. Claus himself - asking for the five things she wants for Christmas.
After reading it, I thought, Hey, I’ve been pretty good this year. Maybe […]

5 Ways to Prevent Stress During the Holidays

I know we’re supposed to read another article from Stanley Popovich today, but it looks like I won’t be able to post his next article, “A Review of Techniques in Managing Your Depression,” until tomorrow.

Do Men Women Really Talk More Than Men?

Lots of interesting stuff to share this Saturday!

Antidepressants Add Years To Your Life?

The first order of business: I’m terribly sorry I didn’t get any tips up on how to have as stress-free a Black Friday as possible; our home was packed this Thanksgiving, and since I usually only get to see my college senior sister on holidays, I took advantage of the time.
