“Social cue is a psychological term used to describe the non-verbal hints to guide conversation.” This is now one of my favorite cartoons I’ve drawn! Yes, it’s a “Jeux de mots” (French for “play on words”). I wish I could see your reaction, so I can gauge your social cues on how you like the [...]

Back in May, I had my Mental health Heroes cartoon-a-thon, and I filled my days with drawing some very amazing people/heroes! I had to put a few things on the “back-burners” for a while. This was one of the things I wanted to share, and it is something you can get in on, too. It’s [...]

Do you laugh when someone falls? Come on, be honest, you have to admit sometimes it can be funny…well, unless you are not in on the joke and the laughter is directed at you or your mistake/slip-up! Yes, there is a term for this kind of humor. It’s called Superiority Theory, and it’s when you [...]
Anger is one of the most explosive emotions we humans have in our repertoire of feelings. How we handle anger says a lot about who we are as people. Do we get mad and basically blow the top of our heads off, yelling and screaming like a banshee* to blow off steam? Or do we [...]

Labels hurt. We are surrounded by them and we even use them ourselves sometimes without thinking about it. They can be self-defeating thoughts. For example, when I stepped on the scale the other day and saw that I gained weight after a 45-day bout with a depressive episode…My first thought was I was a “fat, [...]

A Webinar titled “The Basics, Diagnosis, and the Treatment of Bipolar Disorder for Patients and their Families” will be presented by Joseph Calabrese, MD, on July 11th.

ME sanity? “They’re always after ME sanity!” Yes, I’m just changing the “Lucky the Leprechaun” quote, “they’re always after me lucky charms.” If you don’t know, Sir Lucky is a spokesperson (cartoon character) for General Mill’s Lucky Charms cereal. Even though I love this cereal too much, the fact is I can’t pick a favorite [...]
What Is A Snare? The dictionary defines a snare as “a trap for catching birds or animals, typically one having a noose of wire or cord.” Some other synonyms would be “a trap,” “noose,” “pitfall,” or “deadfall.” It’s like the Mouse Trap game – did you ever play it? It’s filled with different types of [...]
