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.
Why?
Because it’s that time again - theme day here at b5media’s Science & Health Channel. That means you get to read […]

Sylvia Plath: Glimpse Into The Writer’s Mind

Here at b5media’s Science & Health Channel, we’re switching things up a bit and doing some moonlighting. Case in point? Today’s awesome post from Lively Women’s Kristen King!
Kristen and I have several things in common - from our obsessions with Harry Potter to our love of the written word - so when I found out […]

It’s time for some good ol’ Top 10 lists here at b5media’s Science & Health Channel, and I thought we’d step just slightly out of mental health-related topics for this one.
Just slightly.
Today, and in no particular order, I’m going to list:
The Top 10 Things I’ve Done Since Being Diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder

Mental Health 101: Even If It’s Not Your Major

Parents throughout America suddenly become several thousand dollars poorer. Novices hug during tearful goodbyes while veterans throw out nonchalant calls of “See ya.” Young adults develop a serious respect for Ramen Noodles and anyone who’s not tail-gating bright and earlier each Saturday may as well drop out now.
It could all mean only one thing:
Yes, colleges […]

Go Green With Your Brain!

The time has come for our monthly theme day posts here at b5media, and this month’s theme is “Go Green!”
When we think of “going green,” we think of doing things to help the environment and, consequently, ourselves. So, how does going green relate to our brains? Our mental health?
I recently discussed natural remedies to help […]

Today, I’m Challenging You to Be Real Men

Depression and other mental health conditions aren’t selective when it comes to their “victims.” They don’t have checklists of criteria we must meet in order for them to pay us a visit. Your age, gender, race, occupation, financial status, relationship status, and ethnicity makes no difference to them.
