This website contains information
about psychosis.
It has been designed for family
members and friends of people
who have a diagnosis of schizophrenia,
bipolar disorder or another illness
that may result in the symptoms
of psychosis.
The website may also be useful
to people who have personal
experience of psychosis, to GPs
and to mental health professionals.
Please help us develop the site
by filling in a very short survey.
mentalhealthcare.org.uk has been created by researchers who work at the Institute of Psychiatry, a school of King's College London, and mental health professionals who work at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. You can find out more about what each organisation does by looking on the Who we are pages.
Please print out this A4 poster about mentalhealthcare.org.uk and ask to put it up in your GP surgery, and anywhere else where people who might find the site useful will see it. The poster will print on a colour or black and white printer.
Has your brother or sister experienced a first episode of psychosis?
Are you interested in helping develop a new online resource for siblings and testing its effectiveness through research? If you are aged between 16 and 35, live in London and would like to find out more, download a flyer or visit the Rethink Mental Illness Siblings Network website to find out more. You can also download a summary of the research project.
The Maudsley Charity is supporting this website from 2011 to 2013. The Wellcome Trust financially supported the original redevelopment of the site. The charity Rethink Mental Illness sends a representative to an advisory panel that meets three times a year to discuss the future development of the site.
