Anxiety and depression are two of the most common mental health issues in our world. It seems like everyone either suffers from one themselves or is connected personally with someone who does. It sucks, as I have stated in my previous posts, but surely does not need to be a lonely death sentence. Therapy and ...
Bending over into toilets, bushes, showers or garbage cans, hiding and binging on laxatives, running on treadmills until all calories are burned off, or straight up starving until the pounds disappear, women have been affected by eating disorders for as far back as most could remember.

I recently watched a group of men being assisted through a series of “self awareness” exercises designed to bring them (and men in general) back to “psychological wellness” and while some men broke down and cried I couldn’t help but feel that it was more the result of the artificial situation – the psychologists were ...
The Lindsays of Hollywood aren’t the only actresses with problems. The beautiful Sara Rue was apparently agoraphobic until she got treatment. In this ad she thanks her consultant for helping her get out of the house and for putting a smile back on her face. I just don’t understand where the skinny jeans come in! ...
An article was published examining why men use prostitutes based on a study of over 700 men in six countries. This article was sensationalist, citing worn out old stereotypes about how all men are potential rapists and how normal women won’t do the things they want them to do, and did nothing to answer the question ...
