Mental health

A UK site - good starting place with heaps of basic information on mental health issues.
Mind is the leading mental health charity in England and Wales. We work to create a better life for everyone with experience of mental distress

Another site
Endorsed by the Royal College of Psychiatrists' Changing Minds anti stigma campaign, the site features articles from service users, carers, mental health professionals and experts in various fields. The site was launched at the House of Commons on 13 February 2001 with speeches from opinion leaders and advocates in mental health and the Internet:

Schizophrenia

The devastation, the public's inability to empathise, the sadness, the possibilities

Visit this blog from Shiny Happy Person - a psychiatrist with bipolar.


Visit this website - a mothers response to her son Christian




Schizophrenia there its done
Doesn't quite roll off the tongue
8 years it stayed within my mouth
I couldn't quite manage to spit it out
A sad achievement but there its done
A label for my precious son







Rethink is the largest severe mental illness charity in the UK. As of 2nd July 2002 'Rethink' is the new operating name for the 'National Schizophrenia Fellowship'.

He has skills in theatre direction, scripting, and film and video production. He loves to travel, writes poetry, creates sculpture and can definitely tell the difference between a glass of Château d'Yqiem and a bottle of gin!

This site is full of good stuff like best insect repellants and the following which answered a couple of questions I have had in mind-:
