Get Psychologising Again!

I'm back. I promise. I've started trawling the web for new sources of accessible psychology-related pieces to refill my blog now I've got my grades (yay! I can finally move on with my life, knowing my ambitions are still possible and even, dare I say it, probable!). So sit back, relax and prepare for a stream of psychology MADNESS. Oh and, if you like, share with your friends :)

First up, a very interesting article on the possible effects of having lights on at night, and possible links to clinical depression: http://psychcentral.com/news/2012/07/24/keep-the-tv-or-computer-on-at-night-youre-at-greater-risk-for-depression/42184.html

Secondly, a little bit of tumblr mayhem for your delectation, on the theme of mental health and filled with discussion, interesting articles and of course memes: http://fiuactiveminds.tumblr.com/page/2

An interesting debate on whether healthcare systems have a right to deny major operations (here, a heart transplant) to individuals with autism, or any mental issue, due to concerns over the effect that drugs such as steroids may have on behaviour: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/after-adult-autistic-son-denied-heart-transplant-pennsylvania-woman-seeks-to-reverse-decision/2012/08/17/db4778aa-e834-11e1-9739-eef99c5fb285_story.html
and check out the real debate on the national autistic society's facebook page:

That's all for now folks! For anyone interested, keep an eye on news on the NAS (National Autistic Society), BPS (British Psychological Society) and Mind (Mental Health Charity) websites. Be aware of all things psychological, give me a share if you like my thinking and don't forget - I'm always up for discussion: comment,ask me a question or simply reblog. It's good to be back and psycholo-geeking!
