Music Monday

Hello Everyone. It is Monday and I am knee deep in research articles about medication non-adherence.

So far it is a fascinating topic and a big one in psychiatry. The gist is that roughly 60% of individuals prescribed medications for psychiatric disorders to not take their medications appropriately. Some individuals take too much, some too little. Some individuals are forgetful, others are defiant. Either way the side effects and risks of taking these medications alone are frightful. To me it seems that non-adherence is like a prescription for side effects without feeling any of the intended benefit. Non-adherence is a significant problem and it has many factors.

Also this quarter I get to read the Diagnostic and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders as my text book. After 40 pages of reading about ADHD I was ready to self diagnose. Most disorders require someone to meet 5 out of 8 diagnostic criteria which seems somewhat easy to do... at least for me. I wonder if hypochondria is coming up soon?

Here's an oldie that is stuck in my head this week. I heard it while I was out and about somewhere and haven't stopped listening to it since.

This is Once in a lifetime by the Talking Heads


Until next time, keep it the same as it ever was.

Music Monday

My stars I've dropped the ball on this for a few Mondays. For this I apologize, it was due to a mix of unexpected events and not having any musical inspiration in the past few weeks. There have been no songs old or new that have been on my mind, until now.

Here's an older song that still retains its wonder and inspirational setting. I am pretty sure I love everything about this song: trumpet, clarinet, drums, keyboard, guitar, bass, vocals. Check check check. Love it all. Laid back but driven.

This is Brasstronaut with their song Hearts Trompet.


Until next time, take the only road you know...
