Information about other mental health problems

Information about other mental health problems

Since 2010, mentalhealthcare.org.uk has focused exclusively on information about psychosis (the website previously contained information about different mental health problems).

You can find out information about a range of different mental health problems at the Mind website,
the Royal College of Psychiatrists website,
the Mental Health Foundation website 
and the Rethink Mental Illness website. 

On this page, there are links to other websites (and some telephone numbers) where you can find information about other specific mental health problems and diseases of the brain. Many of these sites also contain information for families as well as information about services.
