Beyond Blue

Beliefnet’s health editor (and my editor), Holly Rossi, did an exceptional job of compiling a variety of different posts and galleries on a bipolar resource page. It’s like the Target of bipolar information. No need to go around to all the small shops for everything on your list. We bring it all to you now…

Writer Jennifer Egan published an excellent, comprehensive article about bipolar disorder among kids in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine.

Constructive guilt makes us grow spiritually. The…

I know my title sounds sexist. Like men are the only ones working. HELLO??!!! Job stress triggers depression in women, too! BUT research suggests that job stress is often the primary trigger for depression in men, whereas relationship stress (you know, F-E-E-L-I-N-G-S) is Bad Boy Number One in the female brain. Men, more often than…

One of my favorite male bloggers is John at Storied Mind because he writes about things most of my readers can relate to: work stress, sexual addictions, and the fine line between health and illness.
