I found this video to be interesting and worth a look. It talks about causes of drug addiction which include legal drugs like booze and some mind altering prescription medication. Food for thought.

The myth of normal. Here’s a short recent you tube vid of Dr Gabor Mate, who works with people addicted to drugs and alcohol, talking about the mental health side.

Hello reader,
Great to see attention being drawn to mental health (and in this case cancer) through the efforts of an Aussie Don Watson. Don walked/trekked from Fremantle in Western Australia to Sydney, a distance of over 5,000 kilometres! He raised around $28,000 for mental health and cancer programs. Well done Don, and thanks!
More band interviews coming real soon. Take it easy out there.

Greetings reader,
I hope all is well there with you. This month of November is also known as “Movember”, a month where we focus on Men’s health. A good thing to do every day. Here is some info from the Movember website.
In Melbourne Australia, a forum on International Men’s Day for those wanting to improve the Health & Wellbeing of Men in the Western Suburbs. Presented by the Melton-Brimbank Men’s health network which is a pro-active grassroots organisation full of useful, relevant resources in the west. Details below from their flyer:
“This positive, practical, interactive forum will consider the current health & wellbeing outcomes relating to men, how local men fare compared with other areas, and what this evidence indicates. It will further explore priorities in addressing local men’s needs, how health & community organisations can better engage local men, what resources already exist to support this, and the potential benefits and opportunities for local service providers and communities”.
Where: Brimbank Men’s Shed @ UnitingCare Lentara 32 Withers Street, Sunshine
Date: Wednesday 19th November, 2014 – 9.45 am to 12.30 pm (arrive 9.30am)

On the interview front, there is more coming up. I’m currently editing a podcast i did with Technical death metal band Hadal Maw.
Take it easy out there.
