Inspired by the movie 'A Beautiful Mind,' Dr John Nash's story gave me a sense of hope to my innermost fears...

How many of us, in times of difficult situations, or situations where we had perceived to be difficult, are able to realize that regardless of the difficulty, we have choices?

“Isn’t it kinda ironic,” he said with a sneer as he steered his ugly green sports car through city traffic, “a psychology major having mental health problems herself.”

Xiao Kang: Fictional character with a haunting story

by Naturally Abstemious Muse posted at 8/15/2011 1:33:07 PM

A few years ago, a colleague of mine had shown me a website that had left me feeling disturbed and somewhat shaken. The website was supposedly a photo journal of a youth aged 26 years old, named “Wu Xiao Kang” who was afflicted with schizophrenia, where he had taken the laborious effort to capture haunting snippets of his journey through a debilitated mental hospital building to his final fall from the building. The images with its simple depiction of inanimate objects of the door railings, pharmacy counter, stairwell, broken window panes and parts of a building long forgotten contrasted against a blue sky can leave behind such a profound impression.

Recently, if any of you have peeled your attention to the television like me, may have come across a revamp version of a music video titled, “Home”, written by Dick Lee and originally performed by Kit Chan. Something about the music had the cogwheels in my mind churning, the warm feeling in my heart blossoming, not just the patriotic emotions that it has invoked within me but the notion that there is no place better than home. Or, what exactly, is this concept of home?

Nothing is gonna keep me down

Most of my patients are cool people. On a basic level, I like them. Then there are the occasional ones that are unappreciative and sometimes even unnecessarily mean.

I Hate Feeling Fat

by p.c posted at 2/17/2011 12:28:11 PM

I remember quite vividly the intense guilt I would feel after each meal. I would start pinching my arms, my thighs and start feeling my jaw. I would start doing sit up and jumping jacks during every commercial break and before I sleep. I would jiggle my thighs while eating, thinking that it would erase some fats off my body.
