What if I lose my job? What if I never feel better? What if my dreams don’t come true? Do you have a friend like that? Do you have a friend who attacks your self-esteem by laughing at your mistakes, criticizes your weaknesses and points a finger at your flaws. Worse yet, does she ever say, “You won’t ever be successful in life” because all your efforts are “just not good enough.” Some kind of friend right? But what if I told you that friend was not a friend at all, but your thoughts. Closer to you than any friend would ever be, this inner self-critic sits on your shoulders and constantly berates you. That type of constant negative feedback will wear on a person’s soul and ...

Since most of them are mental health professionals (unlike me, who just pretends she is), their list lends credibility and might be a good one to review every now and then either for yourself or in your work with patients. 1.

Why so many? Well it’s still summer and I’m soaking every bit of it while I can. One that’s been taking much of my attention is The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook by Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D. While the title isn’t very sexy, the read is very illuminating. Why? It talks about the comprehensive (what I’ll call) diet plan for someone suffering from anxiety and phobia. One of the topics it covers is negative self-talk. The kind that often exacerbates anxiety and is also described as one of five mind traps in this week’s top post. It also talks about the importance of exercise, meditation and even nutrition. All things that can help ease your anxiety so that yo...

Argues Peters: While the essence of warfare never changes—it will always be about killing the enemy until he acquiesces in our desires or is exterminated—its topical manifestations evolve and its dimensions expand. Today, the United States and its allies will never face a lone enemy on the battlefield. There will always be a hostile third party in the fight, but one which we not only refrain from attacking but are hesitant to annoy: the media. While this brief ...

They believe they found a method that, although not foolproof, may be an easy way to identify some of the side effects currently missed during the clinical trial process, The New Scientist reports (subscription required). Philip Bourne and his colleagues at the University of California, San Diego, used a process similar to what drugmakers now do when running simulations to test compounds. As a proof of concept, they studied selective oestrogen receptor modulators, a class of drug that includes Tamoxifen. To look for possible side effects of such drugs, the mag writes, they searched around 800 human proteins for sites that the drug might bind to and scored one direct hit - a protein that helps control the m...

Science has undergone its own quiet revolution since the invention of the Web back in 1990. This has slowly but surely changed scientific communication, a "Webolution" if you like. The recent addition of television to the Web means that, to paraphrase Gill, the Webolution will be televised. You can now watch some of the webolution in science, thanks the likes of JOVE (The Journal Of Visualised Experiments), SciVee.TV, Google Video and YouTube.
