HealthyPlace.com Relaunch: HealthyPlace Newsletter

Here's what's happening on the HealthyPlace site this week:

• HealthyPlace.com Relaunch and Orientation

First, I want to thank you for being a subscriber to the HealthyPlace email newsletter. It's our way of updating you with mental health news and happenings on the HealthyPlace.com website.

On Tuesday evening, we had our first HealthyPlace TV Show on "The Devastation Caused By Untreated Bipolar Disorder. If you missed it, click here for a list of previous HealthyPlace Mental Health TV Shows. Our guest, Ted, shared his story of life with untreated bipolar disorder. A couple of the highlights: Ted discussed the impact bipolar disorder had on his teenage son and wife and the tools his family used to aid in their recovery. HealthyPlace.com Medical Director, Dr. Harry Croft, has a companion post on Bipolar Disorder: Diagnosis and Treatment.

Next Tuesday, our focus is on "Self-injury: Why I Started and Why It's So Difficult to Stop." If you have personal experience with this subject, how about being our guest? All you need is a webcam.   Your insights could help many others facing a similar situation.   Write us at producer at healthyplace.com

If you haven't been to our site in the last few weeks, I wanted to let you know that we have a completely new design as well as a lot of new content and features.

When you come onto HealthyPlace.com, you'll notice every major feature on the site can be accessed from the top navigation menu seen on every page. These features include:

• The HealthyPlace Mental Health Support Network (under "support")
• The HealthyPlace TV Show
• The HealthyPlace Mood Tracker (online mood journal, under "tools")
• HealthyPlace Online Psychological Tests (instantly scored, under "insight")
• HealthyPlace Mental Health Videos (under "insight")

We also have two special treatment sections on the site entitled:

• The Gold Standard of Treating Depression
• The Gold Standard of Treating Bipolar Disorder

These are written by award-winning mental health author and HealthyPlace Expert Bipolar/Depression Patient, Julie Fast, and include extensive interviews with Julie about the content and her personal experiences.

I want to encourage you to check out the top navigation drop-down menus for a quick view of everything on the site. I also hope that you'll want to join our Support Network and that you'll set up a profile and participate. We already have over 700 members.
