 | Expert Consensus Guidelines. This web site provides some of the best information around on Posttraumatic Stress, Bipolar Disorder, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, as well as other topics. They have very thorough summaries of expert opinions that make a nice resource for practitioners, as well as thoughtful and accurate summaries for people with different disorders. |
| National Center for PTSD. A very good place for information on PTSD from a leader in PTSD research. They offer a number of specific topics for Veterans, survivors of natural disasters, survivors of car crashes, survivors of sexual assault or child sexual assault, PTSD in children, etc. |
| International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Home of some of the finest researchers in the world on the topic of trauma and posttraumatic stress. If you're a practitioner, don't miss this site. You may also want to consider joining the ISTSS. I consider their journal (Traumatic Stress) and other publications (StressPoints and PTSD Research Quarterly) to be indispensable. Their annual conferences are among the best around. |
| Stress and Anxiety Links. A diverse set of links to web sites on stress, anxiety, and depression. It even includes links to sites that offer highly readable descriptions of neurochemical and immune system responses to stress and depression. It's fascinating reading for anyone interested in learning, and is well worth a look. |
| Posttraumatic Stress Resources Web Page. This site has a collection of links to resources for PTSD. If you're interested in looking through some excellent summaries of research, click on their link to the National Center of PTSD at White River Junction. It's the home of the PILOTS database, a catalogue of PTSD Research Quarterly articles. |
| NIMH Anxiety Disorders Education Page. From the National Institute of Mental Health. It includes some nice information on Panic Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Posttraumatic Stress, Phobias, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. You can also order printed versions of their publications. |
| Anxiety Disorders Association of America. I'm still learning about this organization, but it looked promising. |
| Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation. Another organization that I'm still learning about. In addition to some good information, their board members include top researchers like Dr. Edna Foa and Dr. Gail Steketee. |
