“I am only what I think I am , and at that, I think I am nothing less normal in this make-believe world. That which is your reality is not mine and for that, I take joy. For I am unique!“  This was today’s FaceBook Words Of the WisdomLess quote.  When you think about it, it kind of makes sense.  Well, maybe as much sense as my cartoons for mental health humor do.  Like this OCD cartoon, I call it my Obsessive-compulsive disorder To Do List.  I drew this back in April 2008 after talking to my Wife’s cousin about OCD.

Cartoons and drawing is a great way to bring a little humor in my life. When I AM depressed I draw depression cartoons.

 Question:

Dr. Bob, I am going out of my mind!
I’m stuck in the house day and night!
It’s too cold to go out. I have no money
to hit the malls.  My girl friends all are
married with kids. I have no one to
spend this alone time with… Even my
cat ran away!  My boyfriend left cause
I hate pizza. What’s wrong with me?
Signed: Lonely Me

Dr. Bob Bob:

Dearest Lonely Me… Do You Even Read My Column??  This isn’t Lonely
Hearts or Dear Abby… I’m not here to hear how bad your love life is!
I’m here to help people with real psychological issues.  But, since I’m
here to help, I’ll give you a bit of advice. MEN LIKE PIZZA! No, not like
WE LOVE PIZZA! It is true, the way to a man’s heart is with good pizza…
People who hate it are just nuts… Oh, I see why you’re writing now.

Mental Health Humor: Weekly Review

This week we blogged on a lot of touchy subjects.  Some we hit head on and other we just used as the underlying subject matter.  With the December 7th cartoon we kind of hit it head on talking about Accidental Overdosing.  It happens more often then people think… Yet it takes celebrity some time to bring it to our attention. Such as Heath Ledger, Anna Nicole Smith and her son died from an accidental drug overdose… But one does not need to abuse them meds for this to happen.  If we are adjusting our own meds thinking we know what we are doing then we could be putting our lives and health in danger.

We posted on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Electroconvulsive therapy, E.C.T. and some of the benefits and dangers.  Then took it down a notch with the post of a worm being what I guess I envision a SEXY Worm doing… I’ll let you read into that any way you want.

I was so happy the way my custom cartoon came out for Venus Angell  with the “Bad Decision Making disorder”.  I still have not heard from her so that could be just that she has not seen it yet or that well… SHE HATES IT and is tracking me down for revenge…

So that was my week, how was your week?  I think I’m to going keep doing the Custom Cartoons and posting it once a week.  The rule is you send me a photo and I draw it any way i like.  I will post it on my site and you must post it on your site linked back to me.  So if you want me to try and draw you send your pic to:

   December 12th, 2008 at 12:12 pm e I sure hope this gets through!! I loved your cartoon depicting someone who has had the experience of ECT….to be perfectly honest, I didn’t like the treatments at all; in fact it seemed the more I got the more fearful I became…BUT after all that and a few adjustments to my meds I’ve been fine! They do work eve though the idea seems barbaric….!
2. electricmousie Says:
   December 12th, 2008 at 12:17 pm e Looks like my comments didn’t make it through, so I’ll try again…I loved your cartoon depicting someone who has experienced ECT; really cute…I had a few series of them and even though I was terrified of them and felt like crap afterwards I still have to say they do work! I’ve been well for nearly a year…that’s the part that matters most…staying well (and not having to go back for anymore….they wanted me to have maintenance ECT once a month but I turned them down…no thank you!!!!! ;( I’d hate to have to look forward to that every month!!!!!

   December 12th, 2008 at 2:05 pm e Hey E-mouse Glad to have you back… The was the cartoon I wanted you to see first before I posted it… It kind of uses the idea you gave me about a person started a dead car battery by touching… But drawing that out just did not translate… Just so you know, I seem to be getting all you comments, but if you post one and it does not show up right away just give it a sec or two… then if you don’t see it e-mail me at: info(at)mentalhealthhumor(dot)com

Mental Health Humor: Ask Dr. Bob Bob Reality T.V.

Question:

Dr. Bob Bob, I CAN’T believe it, my
life is so cool! See, I have my own
Reality T.V. Show. It’s on 24 hours a
day but I’m not allowed to see it and
the cameras are hidden so well I can’t
see them. There is no host or grand
prize and I can’t be voted out!  I want
you to be a guest next Monday,
Signed: Reality Gone

Dr Bob Bob’s Answer:

Dear Reality Gone, I hate to break it to you but you are not in a show.
You’re suffering from delusions of grandeur with Truman syndrome.
You need help before your show winds up getting canceled or you
might get stuck in re-runs… But, just in case I’m wrong, Monday will be
fine. Let’s just meet at the cafe in La La Land say around noon..

To some psychiatric patients, life seems like TV

 One man showed up at a federal building, asking for release from the reality show he was sure was being made of his life.

Another was convinced his every move was secretly being filmed for a TV contest. A third believed everything — the news, his psychiatrists, the drugs they prescribed — was part of a phony, stage-set world with him as the involuntary star, like the 1998 movie “The Truman Show.”

Researchers have begun documenting what they dub the “Truman syndrome,” a delusion afflicting people who are convinced that their lives are secretly playing out on a reality TV show. Scientists say the disorder underscores the influence pop culture can have on mental conditions.

“The question is really: Is this just a new twist on an old paranoid or grandiose delusion … or is there sort of a perfect storm of the culture we’re in, in which fame holds such high value?” said Dr. Joel Gold, a psychiatrist affiliated with New York’s Bellevue Hospital.

Within a two-year period, Gold said he encountered five patients with delusions related to reality TV. Several of them specifically mentioned “The Truman Show.”
