Whether you’ve been diagnosed with one or more mental illnesses, have general concerns about your mental health, or want to gather information to help someone you care about, we have resources for you.

Count on our writers, who are experts in the field of mental illness/mental health, consumers who live with psychological disorders, or both, to provide you with information and tools to help you move forward and thrive. Our articles, mental health blogs, vlogs, other videos, online psychological tests, breaking mental health news, and more are designed to help you help yourself.

We are grateful to the judges of the 2017 eHealthcare Leadership Awards for choosing HealthyPlace as the recipient of the Gold Award for the Best Consumer Disease-Focused Site in the Best Overall Internet Site category.

Quit Your Bipolar Medication. Say What?!
