About these links

I offer here some of the best Internet information sources I have yet encountered [see note]. No attempt is made at complete coverage. I simply want to point out some of the best online mental health information.

Use good judgment. The Internet is a BIG place, and Individual websites vary greatly in reliability and comprehensiveness. Exercise good judgment in considering what you encounter on the Internet, where you can find both very good and very poor mental health information. Quality science, embodying careful observation, well summarized and reported, is what we most need. We have more such quality information now than ever before, but significant areas of concern remain under-researched.

Special note: This Links section is in its early stages of development. Some resource group pages listed here may empty or rather meager in resources at the time you visit this page. Expect that to change reasonably soon.

Note

I include here only sites which, at the time of my visit, appeared to have sound content. I cannot, of course promise that everything on every site is of good quality, but only that in general the quality of the content at these sites or pages is good enough to justify your consideration.
