It’s been a wonderful week spreading information about mental health and busting stigma that still exists on mental illness. Why is spreading mental health awareness and fighting prejudice so important? About ten years ago, I was talking to a college classmate about depression. He was just 20 years old and I was a few years older and several years ahead of him in terms of my experience with mental illness. I had witnessed the impact depression had on my grandfather when I was 16. When the topic of mental illness and depression came up, he passionately voiced his opinions to me. He felt t...

You have talked to your doctor and chances are greater than not that your doctor has prescribed one of the traditional medications used to help those with ADHD. I am sure that you have taken the time to read the information about those prescription medications. You are probably wondering if there are other options available that do not have as many side effects. The answer is yes, though your MD might not tell you about them. The option is natural supplements for ADHD. Look, the bottom line is that while some of the medications can help with symptoms, they do not help address the cause. Also it is possible for the medications...

In recovery from substance abuse or codependency it is especially true. Although it is impossible to eliminate all stress from daily life, it is possible to control the effect that stress has on the body & the mind. The first step in managing stress is to become aware of events in your life that cause you stress. The causes of stress vary from person to person, so that what causes you stress may not cause stress for another person. Once you are aware of what causes you stress, the goal is to find ways to avoid or control these things. Relaxation techniques, when used consistently, can prove effective in controlling stress by helping you reach a state of mental calm, even when in the middle of a stressful situation. He...

Their financials are a mess and they've raised $168 Million in capital since inception and have over 800 million shares of common stock authorized for issuance. They recently entered into an agreement with Chicago investment firm Fusion Capital LLC. A review of the blogosphere shows quite a few negative experiences with this investment firm, and some positives as well. Calypte has entered into a draw-down scenario of up to $8 Million in capital at pre-set prices. Perhaps the only upside there is that Fusion does not play the usual hedging or shorting game these types of funds typically play.Calypte just can't seem to make any sales stick. They survive, develop and roll ou...

I’m also a huge fan of the pink ribbon. Why? Because to me, it symbolizes my personal victories in my fight against breast cancer.
