My bookmarks and email inbox have been bursting at the seams this week, just waiting to get into Saturday Sanity for all you fine people! Now that the day has arrived, it’s clear to me there is so much Saturday Sanity-worthy news, I’d best break it up so as not to take up 3/4 of […]

A friend of mine sent me an email about this, and even though it’s not the most recent news (the original post is from May 8, 2006) I thought it was too interesting and neat not to also pass along to you Mental Health Notes readers.
Besides, it takes a while for tools like this to […]

This week was a pretty good week for me. After stumbling through weeks and weeks (perhaps months and months) of just ambling around, having no real direction, and letting “problems” continue to fester and multiply, I finally took some control. I made plans. I made appointments. I made decisions. I updated my planner and thus […]

EDIT: True Life: I Have Schizophrenia is now available for viewing online at MTV.com.
I don’t watch much MTV anymore. I don’t know why; I guess I’m getting old.
However, from time to time something on MTV will catch my eye as I’m flipping through the channels, and I expect tonight’s episode of MTV’s “True Life” series […]

Well, OK, you got me. Saturday Sanity doesn’t exactly keep the doctor away, but it does keep you up to date with what’s going on in the world of mental health, and that’s good too, right?
I talked about a lot of stuff this week here at Mental Health Notes. Not only did I get to […]

If you missed Wednesday’s post about Prescription for Change, the Consumers Union petition to the FDA to make it easier for consumers to report side effects of medications, I highly recommend checking it out.
In other drug news, the AstraZeneca Patient Assistance Programs now have a total of three “AZ & Me” prescription assistance programs (particularly […]

Or, soccer, for American readers.
I love Saturday Sanity.
Not only does it give me a chance to recognize all the important mental health-related news I discover throughout the week (that, for one reason or another, I don’t have time to talk about in depth), but it also gives me a chance to let you all know […]

Or, perhaps, our brains need a break. However you want to see it.
I’ve decided that, from now on, Mental Health Notes will take a break from all things mental health-related on Sundays. Yeah, I know - Mental Health Notes is a mental health blog. I’m a rebel, what can I say.
Constantly talking - and reading […]

I Must Shave My Legs: The OCD Miniseries - Part 4
Recently we discussed the definition of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), as well as the two categories its signs and symptoms are separated into - obsessions and compulsions. Because about 2.2 million Americans have OCD (according to the National Institute of Mental Health; I don’t even know […]

OK, OK, I admit it. TMZ.com is one of my guilty pleasures a site I sometimes visit. I only go there is search of Wentworth Miller pictures and Wenti-related news. Seriously. That’s all.
I love him.
So, anyway, yesterday TMZ.com posts Are Dairy and Meat Making Brit Split? (While I haven’t discussed Britney Spears or her mental […]
