Mental and general health sites

MentalHealth.com

A large and well organised site by Phillip W. Long M.D. covering a vast amount of knowledge about mental health. The editorial slant is clearly "medical" but the language is simple and clear. It includes detailed descriptions of all common disorders, reference information on the most commonly prescribed drugs, and has a very thorough collection of links to organisations, magazines, and reference materials. A further bonus is the editor's attitude to sharing of information and that the site is completely free of advertising.
