Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. As 2016 winds down, seniors (high school and college, alike) are keenly aware that graduation is right around the corner. For those in high school, this means that adulthood is right around the corner. Whether they are going to college or entering the workforce, in six short months, high school is over. For those in college, a similar transition will take place, leaving them to venture out into the workforce with a college degree. But what of this phenomenon of failure to launch and what does it mean for our future?

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. A few weeks ago, we completed a two week series on relationships. And last week, we talked about technology. The interactions of these two issues, though, create new problems. What happens when a relationship is ending, but the partners stay virtually connected?

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. A few months ago, Medscape published a video interview, conducted by their editor-in-chief, of neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley, MD, PhD. Dr. Gazzaley spoke about his research on using video games, instead of medications, for treating various forms of mental health problems.

Here is a link to the interview, which includes a transcript. (http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/868723)

Welcome to The Mental Breakdown Morning Show! Each weekday morning, we will to help get your day off to a great start. Last weekend, Dr. Berney attended a Holiday Party held at a banquet hall in a local Inn. While there, he spoke with a woman from the Inn who told him about two employees, one in management and one on the staff, with sensory limitations – one is blind and the other deaf. Such stories are heart warming, as they demonstrate the essence of perseverance despite apparent limitations. On this morning’s show, we talk about overcoming limitations and how obstacles only stop us if we refuse to look for a way around them. Read More
