Encyclopedia of Mind Disorders
This site is literally
what the title says! Navigation is so simple; just click the section
with the beginning letter of the disorder you want to look up. Or you
can use the search engine below the categories to type in what you
want to look for.
Once you’ve chosen a disorder, and click
into its entry – you’ll be amazed at how much information you’ll
find. For example take a look at the entry for Addiction. Note that
the entry defines it, then describes it, and the goes on to explore
the causes behind it, what symptoms there are, what kinds of
treatment are out there and so much more. It even gives information
on where to get more information listing books, periodicals, and
organizations as places to start your search.
Each entry is as
thorough as the example above, so you are guaranteed to find a great
starting place and general information on any topic. As well as gives
you an idea of where you can go to find even more information.
