Suicidal Ideation
Let's talk about something I'm all too familiar with, something I have experienced first hand. Let's talk about suicide. These days it seems suicide in the media is everywhere you look. From live streams and beloved celebrities to the much more controversial 13 Reasons Why." We've come a long way as a society when it comes to hard to discuss topics like mental health, and yet are we any closer to truly understanding the reasons behind suicide and suicidal ideation?

Ways to Deal with Anxiety and Depression
Here are some ways to deal with anxiety and depression. 1. Don’t be afraid to talk to someone you trust. Some people with anxiety or depression are afraid to talk about the feelings and thoughts they are having. Because they have bad thoughts they may think that they are bad people. Bottling these thoughts up will become too much. These thoughts are normal. Do not fight them. Accept them. They will not go away but with time they will fade. Good people who have bad thoughts are disturbed by them but are unlikely to act on them. Bad people who have bad thoughts are not ashamed of them and are likely to act on them. Remember the difference. If you do not feel you are ready to talk, don’t feel pressured to. You may find that by telling lots of people, it is on your mind. Do what you feel is best.

Meditation and My Battle with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
Benefits? A common thread that I've noticed while working with different methodologies is that meditation gives me a deeper understanding of my mind and body. While meditating, if only for a moment, I am forced to let everything else go and focus on something else, whether it be my breathing, any bodily tension or tightness, or simply to detach and let the world go on around you.

What is VitaFive and Why Should You Join the Movement?
If you are anything like me, taking vitamins and pills doesn't come easy. It's hard to put myself on a pill regimen and I don't exactly remember to take them at the scheduled time. However, thanks to two entrepreneurs, the vitamin industry is changing, and it's changing for the better.

Convulsive Seizures and Mental Health in the Workplace
Convulsive Seizures and Mental Health in the Workplace and School This is for all those people out there who really want to work, but are too sick. When you have a disability, it becomes all too depressing when you ultimately either lose your job or have to quit. Even when you just hated the job you had to quit, there’s a certain somber feeling on it, because you didn’t really choose that path, you had to. You start losing opportunities other people have that they don’t want, even complain about, like driving and working, and sometimes, just admit it, you hate them for it. This is my story.

How to Overcome Depression in 3 Steps
Thousands of years ago, Buddha said, "Life is dukkha". Dukkha has been translated from Pali into English as "suffering." This doesn't mean that Buddha himself thought that life was miserable and thus there was no point in living it with some positive purpose or meaning. What he meant is that life by its nature involves suffering.

The Tools of Change — Ch 3.1
I make a deliberate effort in conversations such as these to avoid Traditional Psychology. Even casual usage of the terms involved wherever possible. It is to avoid Perspective skew. Traditional Psychology has a very particular bias, one that causes many problems. It in fact perpetuates the very thing it is attempting to address. Its root premises are fundamentally flawed. At least in terms of the common perspective as it relates to psychology, particularly psychotherapy.
