PsychCentral

Article Tools

It's hard for many people to talk openly about their mental-health concerns, so it's especially important to have online resources to rely on. PsychCentral is a good place to start. Visitors can take simple quizzes to get a general sense of whether they might have a problem, then check the "Ask the Therapist" section for answers to questions about all kinds of topics, ranging from borderline personality disorder to infidelity. There's even a section in which members can rate their personal experiences with prescription drugs. If you want more news and research, visit MentalHelp.net or the government's more comprehensive National Institute of Mental Health site.
