TEAL is on trend this September. Not only is teal a top fashion color for fall 2011, it’s the color of ovarian cancer awareness—and September is national ovarian cancer awareness month. Here’s how you can help raise awareness of this disease. To support ovarian cancer awareness you can get involved in the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance’s United States of Teal campaign. The goal of the campaign is to have every state in America teal—which happens when state legislators pledge their support for ovarian cancer awareness. Twenty-four states are already teal—visit www.unitedstatesofteal.org to see if your state supports women with ovarian cancer. The website also shows how you can...

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...

Today, May 18, we are all blogging about mental health awareness. Here’s my contribution. Why do I blog about mental health? I want to explain to people that depression and other mood disorders aren’t yuppie diseases for folks with the time and resources to ruminate and obsess, that they can be life-threatening illnesses. That’s right. Depression kills. It killed my godmother — my mom’s younger sister — at the tender age of 43. It kills approximately 800,000 people across the globe every year. Suicide takes more lives than traffic accidents, lung disease, and AIDs, and it is the second leading cause o...

How are you celebrating? Yep, there’s no denying it’s fall. I went to the park this weekend and the crispy air and falling leaves were signs that this is indeed the end of the ease of summer and the beginning of a new season. Every ending has a new beginning and like New Year’s it is another opportunity for self-growth and change. It beckons us to ask the question, “Will I embrace the coming season or mourn the lost of the one before?” If you are courageous, brave and on a mission for change, then you’ll be tickled with this week’s top posts. Why? Do you remember the scene in Bridget Jones’s Diary where Bridget’s enemy Mark Darcy suddenly turns into the love of her life over night wi...

Reported by MM&M, With the "Give Your Health A Shot" campaign, GSK is looking to spread awareness of the 14 vaccinations that can prevent serious illness in adults. In order to reach their target audience, GSK is using http://www.giveyourhealthashot.com website as well as a 30 minute public service announcement that will run in select markets throughout the month of October.

Or my first, depending on how you look at it. You can read my experiences with being a birthmom here and here. Part 3 is rather happier: This is the first Mother’s Day following my ridiculously blissful reunion with my wonderful son and his equally wonderful parents. It’s hard to say much, mostly because the memories of those few days in December are so intensely personal and the emotions still so raw. I’m not quite ready to let the world in on them. What I will say is that, as magical as it all was, and as healing as it all was, it wasn’t a cure-all. Right now, I’m on my third antidepressant combo in two months, trying to get out of the most recent episode, just so you know that even really joyous events don’t instantly cure longstanding...

Ranging from uncomfortable menstrual cramps to gynecological cancers, we can’t afford to ignore the areas “below the belt.” To draw attention to pelvic health awareness, in particular urinary incontinence, Poise has launched its second annual Poise Passion Award. Do you know a woman who has overcome a pelvic problem, who is inspirational, who deserves to be recognized? If so, you can nominate her to be like Linda Michaels , Poise’s 2008 Passion Award winner. A Survivor and Pelvic Floor Champion is a woman who has overcome pelvic conditions, like light bladder leakage, through personal effort and has found strength through p...

Tris’s interview was surely enlightening and hopefully encouraging, but in addition to his story, there are many, many other ways to explore depression and mental health in general. Thus, in honor of Mental Health Awareness month, the entire b5media Health & Wellness channel rallied together to bring you the best explorations of mental health we could. The awesome Alicia at Mental Health Notes was our gracious host for this month’s theme day, and compiled all of our post links together in a one-stop-shop sort of manner for you.
