What is Mental Health?

Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA)
SAMHSA provides one-stop access to information on mental health and mental health problems, from mental health basics (such as facts, myths, and early warning signs of problems) to a toolkit for community conversations about mental health, as well as information on how to get help, including a 24-7 National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (or online chat), a 24-7 Veterans Crisis Line (or online chat), and a SAMHSA Treatment Referral Helpline as well as a treatment locator to search by state or zip code. MentalHealth.gov is also available in Spanish.
 

Mental Disorders and Related Topics

National Institute of Health
The National Institute of Health provides an index of mental disorders (including anxiety, depression, substance use and mental health, and more) that covers an overview, signs and symptoms, risk factors, treatment and therapies, and steps to take beyond treatment. This site also includes a section on special populations, including women, children and adolescents.
