Mental Health Information and Resources

Follow the links below to view a particular type of resource.

Mental Health Articles

Original content written by Forum staff and from other sources where appropriate, can be found in the articles section. Subjects range from personal accounts, views and opinions, stories of recovery plus details of treatments and therapies.

Each article can also be downloaded for later reading as either a Microsoft Word document or an Adobe PDF.

*PDF stands for Portable Document Format and requires Adobe Acrobat Reader to view. 99% of you will have this software already. If you do not, you can download Adobe Acrobat Reader at the Adobe website - it will automatically detect which version you require.

Mental Health Websites

There is a vast amount of information available on the subject of mental health on the Internet. It is neither practical, nor the intention of this site to duplicate all that existing material.

Rather than re-hashing what is already out there, we would like to point you in the direction of websites that already provide details about a range of mental health illnesses, problems and issues. Some also offer practical advice and support to sufferers and their carers.

Recommended Reading
