WNRN’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call

This week’s edition of WNRN’s Wake-Up Call is a discussion about politics - specificially the 2008 Presidential Race.

Three guests: Bonnie, Thalia, and Jim, give their opinions on questions such as, “Should Clinton drop out?” “Which Democratic candidate would do better against McCain?” and “How does ageism/racism/sexism play into the equation?”

The conversation then moves to each candidate’s specific policies. How does each one stand on domestic affairs? Foreign policy? What policies are popular with the voters? They also discuss the college vote - what college-age voters care about, and how that could affect the general election this November. Callers also chime in with their opinions on the issues.

Plus, how did you feel about the discussion? Post your comments on the show and let us know!

Mental health is the topic of this week’s Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call on WNRN. Paul Patrick, the founder of On Our Own, and Frank Blankenship of MindFreedom International, both Mental Health Advocacy groups, join host Rick Moore in the studio. They also consider themselves to be psychiatric survivors, having both been forcibly committed to mental health hostipals. The conversation starts off with the $42 million mental health bill Governor Kaine signed into law last month, and moves on to a discussion about prescription drugs, and their long-term effects. Do Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors (used to treat depression) help or harm the patient? What do psychiatric professionals have to say about it?

The guests and callers also talk about the road to recovery for those with mental health issues - what role do drugs and hostipal committment play in the process? What about more extreme treatments, such as shock therapy?
