A Wandering Mind Isn't Just A Distraction. It May Be Your Brain's Default State.
Even if you don’t consider yourself a daydreamer, you probably spend a lot of time in a state of mental wandering ― it’s natural for your mind to drift away from the present moment when you’re in the shower, walking to work or doing the dishes.
In recent years, scientists have been paying a lot more attention to mind-wandering, an activity that takes up as much as 50 percent of our waking hours. Psychologists previously tended to view mind-wandering as largely useless, but an emerging body of research suggests that it is a natural and healthy part of our mental lives.

There's No Shame In Needing Medication To Manage Your Mental Illness
Written by Caitlyn Kalustian
I have Bipolar 1, the most severe form of bipolar. I was diagnosed almost 10 years ago. It took me about three years to get on the right meds. Throughout those three years, I cycled through episodes of mania and depression. It resulted in three hospitalizations. Once I was on the right medication cocktail, I stabilized. At least, I became as stable as anyone with a severe mental illness can be. Despite the five medications I take for my mood disorder and anxiety, I still deal with symptoms.
I am a high-functioning person living with mental illness, but this doesn’t mean I’m totally...

Book Review: A Spectrum Approach to Mood Disorders
James Phelps’ new book, A Spectrum Approach to Mood Disorders: Not Fully Bipolar But Not Unipolar—Practical Management, is written for professionals, not laymen. I have some familiarity with bipolar disorder and its causes, symptoms, and treatments. However, I am not a professional and this book often goes beyond my ability to comprehend. Dr. Phelps has been treating patients and studying and writing about mood disorders for over 25 years, but he makes assumptions that the reader has a higher level of experience or training, and it makes this book difficult for amateurs to fully appreciate.
The basic premise of...

Artists With 'Invisible' Disabilities Use Tattoos To Talk About Health
“I have chosen a surreal art approach to represent my invisible disability, due to the surreal nature of mental illness,” tattoo artist Lindsay Carter expressed in a statement. Carter’s image ― featured on the right, above ― shows a bird whose head is a cage with a giant eyeball protruding from the dreamlike vision.
“As long as I’ve been consciously aware, I’ve been diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder,” she continued. “Severe episodes can happen for no apparent reason and at that point I cannot help nor snap out of the...

How Arkansas' 2 Medical Marijuana Proposals Differ (Erika Gee Commentary)
On Nov. 8, Arkansans could see two different medical marijuana initiatives on their ballots: the Arkansas Medical Cannabis Act (AMCA) and the Arkansas Medical Marijuana Amendment (AMMA).
While both would legalize medical marijuana and contain similar provisions, there are distinct differences between them, particularly in the breadth of behavior legalized and the regulatory plan to oversee cultivation and distribution.
First, let's take a look at the path to the ballot for these two measures.
The AMCA, backed by Arkansans for Compassionate Care, has been certified by the attorney general and the secretary of st...

The Power Of The Gut
As an integrative medicine physician, I stay current with scientific research relevant to patient health in my clinical practice. Over the past two decades, I began seeing an increasing incidence of hormonal and immune dysregulations in my patients. Also, autoimmune diseases, depression, anxiety, and obesity began showing up in unprecedented numbers.
A few years ago, I became aware of the ongoing research on the human gut microbiome. Much of the published researched explained what I was seeing in my clinical practice as linked to a disrupted gut biome. As I began applying the recommended protocols to healing the microbio...

Stress and Diabetes: Cause, Prevention, Natural Treatment
If you’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, mainstream medicine treats you as if you have an incurable disease. It’s like they’re saying, “Now you’re a diabetic… that’s who you are… and that’s who you’ll always be.”

This approach is dead-wrong.
How does diabetes develop?
Adult diabetes is not something wrong with you. It’s not that you were born cursed to develop it. It develops because of lifestyle choices and environmental factors. And it CAN be reversed.

Millions Of Adult Women Have ADHD. So Why Does It Feel So Lonely?
Life as a 31-year-old with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) presents certain challenges for Erin Soto, a stay-at-home mom with 7- and 9-year-old boys. She was diagnosed as a teenager and prescribed medication, but it made her feel like a “zombie.” Now, she manages her symptoms with a therapist ― and with lists. Every night before bed, Soto meticulously outlines what she needs to accomplish the next day, a tool that helps keep her focused, but that can also exacerbate her anxiety.
“A normal person can create a list and if they don’t get through it, they’ll be fine,” Soto ...

4 Black Women Writers Get Honest About Mental Illness And Race
July is Minority Mental Health Month, a month to spread awareness about how mental illnesses specifically affects people of color, and to erase the stigma and misinformation that plagues POC when it comes to mental illness. One way to spread awareness is through dialogue. I had a candid conversation with three black women writers (Ashley Reese, Minaa B, and Angelica Bastien) who deal with mental illness about how our mental health ― including depression, ADHD and suicidal thoughts ― affects our lives and our work.
Zeba Blay: I’ve been thinking a lot about identity. About how our identities shape the way we n...

5 Reasons We Need To Introduce Meditation Into Schools
When a child goes to school there is a lot that we teach them.
At first, we want them to learn to master reading, writing, and some basic arithmetic. Later, as their analytical skills develop we give them other areas; maybe geography, history, economics and social studies.
Depending on the school they go to, they may also be exposed to more creative activities such as art and music.
These skills, while useful, aren't what we would call hard life skills. In fact, most of them aren't very useful once we enter the 'real world.' This is particularly relevant given that the world is changing so rapidly.
But there is one sk...

'Why Do Some People Learn And Grow After Trauma And Others Don't?'
Reader Philosophical Questioner writes,
Why do some people have maturity and perspective, while other people, with similar experiences, lack these qualities? I can think of two of my siblings, and my father and uncle. Both pairs of people have experienced regular life trauma: challenging relationships, the deaths of partners, etc. In both pairs of people, one person has gained a lot of insight about life, and regularly provides solid insight, wisdom, and advice about life. The other person has a myopic view of life, and doesn't seem to learn much from their experiences.
I think this ability to be objective about your lif...
