I do not participate in any type of blogs. The only experience I have
with blog is in this class. I have found different website which offers opportunity
on various mental health topics for members who registered to their site. One
of the site I visited was http://www.healthyplace.com/ and their blog website is http://www.healthyplace.com/blogs/. At HealthyPlace.com, you will find comprehensive, authoritative information on psychological disorders, psychiatric medications, and other mental health treatments. Here is a welcome note from the
site “Welcome to
HealthyPlace.com HealthyPlace.com
is the largest consumer mental health site, providing comprehensive, trusted
information on psychological disorders and psychiatric medications from both a
consumer and expert point of view. We have an active mental health social
network for support, online psychological tests, breaking mental health news,
mental health videos, a live mental health tv and radio show, unique tools like
our "mood journal" and more. We're glad you found us”.
This website is very easy, fascinating and really informative. There are
tabs located at the top of the page that helps the viewer with easy site
maneuver. Before any articles or comments are posted, Dr. Harry Croft, who is
the medical director of the San Antonio Psychiatric Research Center reviews all
of the articles and comments. I was able to find one sponsored resource from
healthy place website and it was AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals. This company
produce the drug (quetiapine fumarate) SEROQUEL XR. This drug is used to treat
schizophrenia in adult and children who are at least 13 year of age or older.

ReplyDeleteI have not have any blogging experience before until this class. The psychiatric metal health blog I visited on web site is American Psychiatric Association blog. In this blog, a lot of participate communication by asking different question about many anti-psychotic medications prescribed today if it has significant positive effects on mental illness. It further talked about the important of using these medications in order for patient to function at a higher capacity and for some to be almost free of debilitating psychiatric symptoms. On the other hand, there are many powerful alternative treatments that are many times overlooked by psychiatric providers. One treatment that has been recently studied is the use of oxytocin nasal spray to improve social skills in individuals with Autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The site is very educative and interesting, and inviting because its shares some information that the participant was not aware of before the became members. The sponsor of this website is, American Psychiatric Association.
