About MentalHelp.net

Our purpose is to provide online mental health and wellness education.

Our hope is to spread awareness through advocacy of mental health by providing scientifically accurate and up-to-date coverage of mental health and illness topics. We intend to educate, catalog and provide mental health information that compliments, but does not replace, the medical advice of personal medical professionals.

Our service is freely available and intended for both laypeople and professionals. Online since 1995, MentalHelp.Net has been the recipient of many awards and citations. We offer detailed and comprehensive coverage of mental health and illness articles (such as Addiction, Depression, ADHD, and Personality Disorders).

Our goals are made possible by our many contributors, editors, and staff. MentalHelp.Net is able to provide useful information for those wanting to learn more about mental disorders and issues. We regularly publish original articles, blogs, and reviews for products and service providers in the mental health space. We promote active communication and collaboration between professionals in all segments of mental health and wellness services and the consumers of such services.
