Mark MI words

Normal. How do you define 'normal'? What is it to be 'normal'? And what happens if your 'normal' is different from others'. On STP today we discuss living in a world where mental illness is the 'norm'! #anxiety #depression #agoraphobia #mentalhealth #overcome #anxiety #exposure #therapy #panicattacks #recoverfromanxiety #anxietysymptoms #Mentalhealthpodcast #AnxietyPodcast #AnxietyVlogs #Livingwit...

Normalizing the conversation around mental illness (MI) is our goal.  How often do you get to hear a conversation between a MI sufferer and the person who cares for him. That's what this is all about.  Married for 25 years, 15 years living with MI, Merey and Mark discuss various aspects of their life together dealing with MI.

All Psychologists and Psychiatrists are NOT created equal.    Some are good & some are bad.    Some Psychs are just a bad fit.    We tell you why in this weeks STP!    #anxiety #depression #agoraphobia #mentalhealth #overcome #anxiety #exposure #therapy #panicattacks #recoverfromanxiety #anxietysymptoms #Mentalhealthpodcast #AnxietyPodcast #AnxietyVlogs...

Mental health UNDERSTANDING is better than awareness. My guest this week has written one of the most enlightening, confronting, and courageous book I’ve ever read. Faith, Romance, and Creations through Psychosis is an ‘access-all pass’ to the mind of a person living with schizoaffective disorder . Her book, more than others I have read has given me a real UNDERSTANDING of life with schizoaffective...

It's natural and 'human' for us to see the 'New Year' as a time for change, progression, or new beginnings. But Mental Illness is no respecter of time. It does not recognize a 'new season' and it does not take a holiday. Use every day as a time for change and/or renewal. Today is your day to make a small change. Yesterday is gone. You may never get 'well' but you can be better. Hope lies in small...

It's always tempting to try to set a 'new years' resolution (NYR). However a NYR can be detrimental to your mental health because you may be setting yourself up to fail. Every day is a 'new day' with mental illness. Your success or failure of yesterday does not determine your today. Today is a new day, yesterday is gone. Choose to do what you need to do today to get 'better'.

Suicide Ideation - What is it? What does it feel like? Today we'll help you understand this concept.   Also available as a video podcast at https://youtu.be/xFprb3jcOYU Suicidal ideations (SI), often called suicidal thoughts or ideas, is a broad term used to describe a range of contemplations, wishes, and preoccupations with death and suicide. There is no universally accepted consistent defin...

The sad fact is that suicide rates will increase exponentially over the Christmas period.  All the Christmas cheer, talk of family and hope, pushes some over the edge as they see what others are perceived to have and, by contrast, what they do not have.   #anxiety #depression #agoraphobia #mentalhealth #overcome, #anxiety #exposure #therapy #panicattacks #recoverfromanxiety #anxietysympt...

The Mental Illness/Health sector is broken! Mental health practitioners are over extended, wait lists for treatment are horrendous and the rate of suicide is increasing exponentially. Of all the money invested in the Mental Health sector only a tiny amount is being turned toward research. The question is 'how can we fix a problem we don't understand'? We are trying to fix a car with a blown engine...
