Music Therapy and Depression
"Music is an incredibly powerful form of expression. It combines both words and sound to deliver a message. Certain songs that one hears on the radio can trigger specific memories in one's mind.There is no doubt, there is a strong connection between music and our feelings.... I began to draw upon my own experiences, and discovered a very powerful technique that allows me to use music as a way to help people heal."Out of the Darkness Community Walks for suicide prevention [American Foundation for Suicide Prevention] - over 40 community walks take place around the country to help fund the AFSP’s ongoing efforts with research, education and prevention initiatives designed to reduce the loss of life from suicide as well as provide support for survivors."

An Attention Deficit Disorder And Manic/Depressive Illness
Eradicating myself from mySelf (and my source of all loving/living Light), I’m an Attention-ally, Deficient / Manic-Depressive Dis/order “Of Sorts”. Having had thoughts and feelings of myself (just as all Princes and Princesses who are dancing life’s ballet do), now realizing it from With/in, as WE conduct this perfect dance while hearing the music (as I dance and never stop) until the ending becomes the (true) beginning of THE END (with foresight?/and/or hindsight!).

"I had this sort of 20 to 25 year cycle of in and out of shrink's offices, on and off of various drugs
that are thrown at your symptoms, rather than doing what I'm doing now, which is correcting
the chemical imbalance that causes the symptoms... Hollywood had nothing to do with it. I had
a chemical imbalance in my system."> from**Margot Kidder Mental Wellness Page

She was whisked to Canada by members of her family for treatment. And that, most people
presumed, marked the end of any possible, meaningful public life. Kidder, 52, says it marked
the beginning.Here she was in Hollywood again, radiant in winter white, eyes ablaze behind Lois Lane glasses--
still a working actress, and now an advocate for those who've been dealt some of the same nasty
labels she's been handed over the past 30 years: schizophrenic, manic depressive, narcissist,
sexual hysteric ("a label thankfully out of fashion now that we know women are allowed to have
their libidos," she says with a chuckle). She is now a doting grandma who skis all winter, hikes
the Rocky Mountains with her dogs and who says she is in better shape physically and mentally
than ever. [LA Times 1.30.01]~ ~ ~
Intimate Portrait: Margot Kidder [video] 'What Margot Kidder calls "the most public flip-out in human history"
is fully documented through an in-depth interview with the actress... After years of manic-depression, the
actress best known for playing Lois Lane in Superman had a psychotic episode. She credits L.A.'s homeless,
a Buddhist acupuncturist, and her family with saving her life.
