03-28-2007 Media Madness

Liz Spikol has a good post about MHA's call for some noise to be made about a forthcoming advertising campaign for the movie Wristcutters. Ads will apparently feature suicidal imagery. Visit her site for what you can do about this.

A great column in the Guardian on a dumb mental health services survey and a patient's response to it.

Anna Nicole Smith was on Lexapro and Zoloft. I doubt that those drugs did her in although interacting with seven other meds had to be part of the equation. Weird that someone so wealthy would get such awful healthcare.

Post partum depression defense not valid in Iowa.

Rock star's wife has bad reaction to meds for bipolar disorder, loses it, smashes up hotel room and burns clothes.

Philip,
You've got to stop it! Since you started this little media madness habit I am getting sucked into surfing off into all sorts of directions off your links. Why is it worse than before....I'm not sure...but it's sucking up my time!

Okay I wanna be a rock star. That's classic. No she's classic. I can't decide what's better; demolishing a hotel room with funds to cover a so-called medication- induced bipolar meltdown; or having a pile of clothes worth 10K to light up for the family sing-a-long in the front yard.
