    Here is it. The last day of August. When you think back to the last three months of summer, how do you feel? Did you get to do everything you wanted to do? Read every book you wanted to read? Spend a few days relaxing and doing nothing too? Sometimes we get sucked into this “I need [...]

  • Narcissistic College Students Spend More Time on Facebook

    Updated: 2010-08-31 17:45:40
    It probably comes as little surprise to anyone, but a small exploratory study done on 100 college students from a single university suggests that students who score higher on a test of narcissism also spent more time checking and updating their Facebook profile. Facebook is currently the world’s largest social network, with over 500 million users. [...]

  • Walking, Yoga Helps Your Brain

    Updated: 2010-08-31 17:45:40
    Two studies out last week demonstrate connections between practicing yoga and simple walking may work to help improve your brain health. Previous research has linked exercise to helping keep our brains healthy. The two latest studies independently found that walking and yoga may help our brain health in different ways. To study the effects of walking [...]

  • ECT: The Electric Personality Change

    Updated: 2010-08-31 17:45:40
    Patrice was misery incarnate. Unlike some of my depressed patients, who lived the proverbial life of quiet desperation, Patrice did not hide her suffering. She wept. She moaned. She regaled our walk-in clinic with a kind of biblical keening, which, understandably, attracted the attention of our clinic director. He took me aside one day and [...]

    The other day I was driving when I heard a familiar song playing on the radio. It was Bob Marley’s Buffalo Soldier. In fact, as I type this I can hear it playing in my head. The funny thing is that the sound automatically took me back to my childhood. My cousins and I were sitting [...]

    What did you do over the weekend? I spent part of mine watching the 2006 movie Marie Antoinette. It wasn’t the best of the bunch, but it did move me. It got me thinking about a time when women had little power and control over their own lives. When things were decided for you and the [...]

  • Finding Your Writing Voice without Losing Your Mind

  • Ways People Help One Another with Mental Health Issues

    Updated: 2010-08-31 17:45:40
    I often write about the latest research findings in mental health or psychology here, but most of the day-to-day work of helping people with a mental health issue falls onto people in one’s local community. Sure, psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals do the bulk of the work — individually or in small groups [...]
