Fear of Mental Health Visits star
Are you afraid to talk to your doctor or a therapist about your depression, your disorganized behavior, or the night terrors you´re having?

High Risk Behaviors and Treatment star
Have you or a friend recently been diagnosed with bipolar disorder? Has someone suggested that a 'personality' disorder could be to blame for your problems? Take the fear out of losing control and explore some advice on situations you should avoid and reminders on maintaining treatment.

Personality Assessment and the MMPI star
Personality assessment is perhaps more an art form than a science. In an attempt to render it as objective and standardized as possible, generations of clinicians came up with psychological tests and structured interviews. Read more for information on MMPI testing and what it means.

Psychological Testing star
A Thematic Appreciation Test uses pictures and subjects tell a story based on what they see. The Structured Clinical Interview uses 12 groups of questions corresponding to the 12 personality disorders. Disorder specific testing is based on assisting diagnosis of a specific psychological disorder.

The MCMI III Test and Rorschach Inkblot Test star
The MCMI-III diagnoses personality disorders and Axis I disorders but not other mental health problems. The Rorschach Inkblot test teaches a skilled diagnostician how the one processes information and what is the structure and content of his internal world. Read more to learn details on these tests.

Treating Depression : Medication versus Therapy star
The topic of how best to treat depression is one that gets a lot of attention, partly because the two competing schools of thought are promoted by adherents who do not see eye-to-eye.

Victim reaction to Abuse by Narcissists and Psychopaths star
Personality disorders are not only all-pervasive, but also diffuse and shape-shifting. It is taxing and emotionally harrowing to watch how a loved one is consumed by these pernicious and largely incurable conditions.

What is a Dual Diagnosis? star
More information on the meaning of a dual diagnosis as it relates to mental health, drug addiction and how we have learned to cope.
