Did you know April is Cancer Control Month? It’s true, it’s true, and in honor of that we bloggers here at the b5media Health & Wellness Channel have decided this month’s theme day should focus on cancer.
Rather than try to choose just one topic pertaining to cancer and mental health - or going the obvious […]
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 […]
One of my mottoes has always been, “If you want something done, get up and do the damn thing.” Having that mentality is definitely one of the reasons I love grassroots movements and advocacy.

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.

However, there is good news. In addition to asking your […]
Grab Drug Advertisements by the Pills: Part Four
Now that you know that the most expensive prescription medications tend to dominate the drug advertising scene, it’s probably no surprise that these same prescription medications are also the newest drugs on the market.
However, here’s something to which you may not have given much thought: Because these new […]
And no, I’m talking the final straw before the bipolar diagnosis. I’m actually quoting “Crazy,” Gnarls Barkley’s 2006 hit.
Why?
