Sunday	Sunday’s Cartoon - Phenylethylamine…WHAT? discussed the possible mood lifting benefits of chocolate consumption. Who doesn’t like chocolate? My wife loves it. I bet you do. Keyster94 said: “I wonder if that is why I CRAVE chocolate when I’m in a bad mood…” Electricmousie said…”may be I can try it the next time I’m feeling down.” I say why not try it but like everything else in moderation! Boy, what a sweet experiment that would be!
Monday	Monday’s Cartoon Ask Dr. Bob Bob- Is chocolate really good for depression cartoon explored that topic. “Researchers believe that our body releases phenylethylamine when we are in love, thus producing the uplifted mood associated with love. At one time, it was rumored that chocolate produces the same feelings because of the Phenylethylamine it contains. Unfortunately, tests now show that the phenylethylamine in chocolate is broken down before it can affect the brain in this way.” Violetteb wrote: “Did somebody say CHOCOLATE???” Hauteness: “Chocolate always brightens my mood!” Xmarks, thanks for your chocolate consumption tips! Electricmousie said “Love eating chocolate …it’s a real treat because I don’t indulge.” Dr. Kc/DocintheBiz says: “I think putting a lighter edge or some humor on mental illness is a wonderful thing. Finding the light and positive in anything we are facing is great and a healthy way to cope.” Thanks Dr. Kc for your thoughts and support!
Tuesday	Tuesday Omega 3 Fish Oil and Depression Blog..about the possible benefits of Omega 3 got people talking. Did you like this cartoon? Hope so. This was my wife’s favorite for the week. She likes the colors. This blog discussed Omega 3 Fish Oil and what the Mayo Clinic said regarding it. We had quite a few comments about this blog. Thanks everybody for your thoughts. Brooklyn said: “Humor mixed with information can’t be beat. Thank you.” Appreciate your commendation Brooklyn for the blog. Lolli and brandir noticed negative or no effect from fish oil. However, Ken Jensen had some in-depth and insightful thoughts. Please check out and read them in full. Yes Ken, priorities are very important!
Wednesday	Wednesday, August 6th Cartoon - “This Nut’s Luck is About to Change!” and blog highlighted Depression and Self-Assessment. On this blog, you will find links to tests to take to see if you are depressed or not. bill_finger wrote: “Great Cartoon.” Thank You Bill - Glad you liked it.

Friday	5 Questions Friday Blog interviewed Alicia Sparks, a freelance writer, editor and Mental Health Advocate. Thank you Alicia for your time and insights! We discussed In Our Own Voice - a public education program where both trained speakers and audience members talk about living with mental illness. Alicia does a lot to advocate for mental health. Way to go Alicia! She certainly starts a spark. I hope you enjoyed Friday’s cartoon, In our Own Voice: Humpty Dumpty opens up about Depression, Self-Harm and Recovery.
