PatientsLikeMe.com is an online community for people with significant, life-changing conditions that emphasizes the sharing of health care data and information publicly. It is thought by sharing such information with one another and for research purposes, we can learn more about health and mental health concerns, more quickly and in a real population than could otherwise be done. Inpatient psychiatric treatment is not all that common (most people who get treatment for a mental health concern [or "mood condition," as they call it] do so in an outpatient setting). But because it’s fairly uncommon, there are a lot of misconceptions ...

Charlie played a few more songs—”Clementine” and “Heart and Soul” (in which he has had to play one of the black keys for the first time, F sharp), and the C scale. When there are a few of the same note to play—a few C’s in “Bingo”—-Charlie sometimes plays more than are indicated in his music book; his teacher noted this, and then, after mentioning how ABA teaching can put a great premium on precision and exactitude, he said, “But I think it’s all right if he plays too many notes. You can tell what song he’s playing, he’s having fun, and it’s music. It’s art.” I had ...

For He departed, and behold, He is here." ~St AugustineOur painting of the Resurrection is from Giotto di Bondone (1267-1337), who was once a shepard, but went onto fame as a painter, sculptor, and architect and has been called "father of the Italian Renaissance." For music, we honor George Handel, a devout Christian, composer of his remarkable Messiah (in addition to other works), and generous donor to the poor and orphaned (from The Spiritual Lives of Great Composers: "Handel donated freely to charities even in times when he faced personal financial ruin. He was a relentless optimist whose faith in God sustained him through every difficulty.")Although many people associate Messiah with Christmas, it is...
