When I run on the treadmill, I read. But I have found that the only way to read while on the treadmill is to hold the book, since it moves around too much on the stand, you move around too much. I've gotten very good at holding a book and running, which tends to screw up my neck a little bit.
In the late 90s I was hired to participate in a 2 year initiative discussing intimacy and depression which was funded by an educational grant by Glaxo Wellcome.
We want to blame people who have brain disorders - they should somehow be able to magically rise above it. It's a profound misconception.
I tell women to stop learning how to keep a man and make him happy, and to try figuring out what they want from a relationship, to trust their own instincts and not worry about pleasing someone else.
Trauma survivors have a deficiency in their capacity to regulate emotions - they're too prolonged and too intense and too negative.

Here's the acid test for appropriateness: Pretend that someone near and dear to you is witnessing what you are writing or sending, or knows what you are thinking about sending.

When you get your viral load down to zero, you reduce the risk of transmission of HIV by 90 percent.
The problem with my peers is they don't understand television. You have to work within the confines of what executives will allow you to put on TV. Otherwise, we've not done anything, we've not really struggled to change the culture at all.
When I started out, no one would talk to young people about HIV or AIDS. I looked around and radio looked like a powerful way to shape culture in a healthy way.
I'm deeply involved in big problems.
If someone wants to offer me some money to talk about something that I feel strongly about on Twitter - and I don't feel it's diminishing in any way my messages - I don't see why not.
I don't want people to think I'm exploiting my followers.
I love everything about the human experience.
Thank God I'm a horrible musician. Good singer, horrible musician.
Medicine saved my life, quite literally. I woke up every day of my training thinking, 'I love doing this,' feeling like it was so important what I was doing.
I'm an internist by training.
Many aspects of the George Zimmerman trial have deeply affected me.
Remember, you're not always the professional.
