YouTube Clip of the Week:”Psychology Test: Are You Normal?”
This blog might be a little somber lately since I haven’t been well and my Mom was hospitalized this week. Then again, the whole world is probably a bit somber lately. So, I looked for a snarky but kind of funny video which somehow has to do due with mental illness. And this was the best I could find. (Hey — it’s been a hard week).
This is one of those traditional YouTube video clips where someone is talking to the camera for ten minutes. The fellow in question is Dr. Breeding. I’m not sure what he has a doctorate in or even if Dr. Breeding is his real name, but he does that touch of maladjusted charism that makes for interesting YouTube viewing. He mentions a website called Mindfreedom.org several times, but I don’t know his association with that website. I’ve never heard of the website before today, so I don’t have an opinion about it yet.
Come to think of it, there’s a lot I don’t know…
WARNING: This video is NOT to be used in the place of your therapist’s or doctor’s diagnosis. Although I do agre that there are a lot of therapists and doctors who don’t know what they’re doing and look for pills as a quick fix, there are also a lot of doctors who DO know what they’re doing and can really help someone with major depression, bipolar disorder, post-partum depression or extreme grief.
If you work in the mental health field, then perhaps you might want to skip this video and go have a cookie, instead.

Is there any muscle-building supplement that you’d recommend? I wanna try one but I don’t know which is best.
