There are many online “psycho-babble” tests. How many times have you seen a Facebook profile proclaim: “What color am I?” “What famous person am I?” et cetera. Obviously, these “tests” are for entertainment value only and are not research-based. Licensed Clinical Psychologists are usually the best resource to seek out to conduct psychological testing.

Fentanyl, Counterfeit Pills, and Other Drugs
The Drug Enforcement Administration has issued a Public Safety Alert warning Americans of the alarming increase in the lethality and availability of fake prescription pills containing fentanyl and methamphetamine. The Public Safety Alert coincides with the launch of DEA’s One Pill Can Kill Public Awareness Campaign to educate the public about the dangers of counterfeit pills and urges all Americans to take only medications prescribed by a medical professional and dispensed by a licensed pharmacist.
