ABOUT MEBERSHIP

A few points about membership that need to be highlighted have been brought to PCMHC's attention by one of our members. What was discussed was mostly oriented around people's comfort levels with a public disclosure of having mental illness as a part of their lives.

PCMHC strives to make this a community welcoming to all individuals, and to accomodate as many varying comfort levels as possible. Therefore, we have highlighted the following points:

  • Membership at PCMHC is free
  • Membership gives you access to being able to post events on the calendar, opinions or even articles in discussion groups, and to communicate with other members.
  • If you wish to stay anonymous use your first name and the letter "Z" as your last initial when filling out the membership form. By doing this, other members will know to be sensitive to your comfort level.
  • Posting a picture to go along with your profile is recommended but the picture can be of anything that makes you happy, flowers, a sunset, your pet, etc. 
  • ALL MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION IS KEPT WITHIN THE CONFINES OF PCMHC AND IS NEVER HANDED OUT TO OUTSIDE ENTITIES.

It is our hope that this information helps encourage more individuals to become a part of the community we are building here in Placer County, because as this community gets stronger, so do we. Why not join today

The Anti Depressant Song

Psychiatrist to his nurse: "Just say we're very busy. Don't keep saying 'It's a madhouse.'"
_____________________________________________


 Joe has been seeing a psychoanalyst for four years for treatment of the fear that he had monsters under his bed. It had been years since he had gotten a good night's sleep. Furthermore, his progress was very poor, and he knew it. So, one day he stops seeing the psychoanalyst and decides to try something different.

A few weeks later, Joe's former psychoanalyst meets his old client in the supermarket, and is surprised to find him looking well-rested, energetic, and cheerful. "Doc!" Joe says, "It's amazing! I'm cured!"
"That's great news!" the psychoanalyst says. "you seem to be doing much better. How?"
"I went to see another doctor," Joe says enthusiastically, "and he cured me in just ONE session!"
"One?!" the psychoanalyst asks incredulously.
"Yeah," continues Joe, "my new doctor is a behaviorist."
"A behaviorist?" the psychoanalyst asks. "How did he cure you in one session?"
"Oh, easy," says Joe. "He told me to cut the legs off of my bed."
