I thought that it might be good if I put up a list of resources that I have come up with to help those with mental disorders, especially those with Bipolar disorder and those with General Depression. I hope this helps!
First of all, Comcare of Sedgwick County (http://www.sedgwickcounty.org/COMCARE/). One of the greatest sources of help for those of us that live here in Sedgwick County, Kansas.
National Mental Health Association (http://www.nmha.org/) is a great place to look for general mental health info and for references for help in your area.
National Alliance on Mental Illness (http://www.nami.org/) is another great place to look for general mental health issues.
Depression & Bipolar Support Alliance (https://www.dbsalliance.org/) was recommended to me by my psychiatrist. This is an incredible organization that helps those with both Bipolar disorder and Depression. Local chapters nationwide & the best chat board I’ve found that deals only with mental health.
Since I deal with Adult Attention Hyperactivity Deficit Disorder I’ll include some links here for that too.
Attention Deficit Disorder Association (http://www.add.org) is probably the best site I’ve found for ADD/ADHD.
oneADDplace (http://www.oneaddplace.com/) is another good site for help in dealing with ADD/ADHD.
Attention! Magazine is an online magazine published by CHADD (Children & Adults with ADD) (http://www.chadd.org/)
In addition to all of the above, it’s a pretty safe bet that just about every medicine out there has there very own website. Here’s some of the ones I’ve found that are really good and helpful.
Seroquel www.seroquel.com
Lexapro www.lexapro.com
Geodon www.geodon.com
Zoloft www.zoloft.com
Abilify www.abilify.com
Paxil www.paxil.com
Prozac www.prozac.com
Depakote www.depakote.com
Bookmark some of these pages so you have this information ready at hand. I personally visit the Depression & Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA) usually several times a day as I post on their chat board just about every day.
Be Blessed!
BIG SCOTT
