Blog Entry 2: Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing Blogs

As the flied of nursing has progressed, the use of technology and information has become a very common practice. One such use of technology by mental health workers, consumers, as well as psychiatric nurses is the blogging. I enjoy the trend pf blogging and have followed many bloggers over the years. I myself have never taken the time to blog but I enjoy reading many underground gossip blogs, fashion blogs, and urban news blogs. I can see why many will feel empowered to journal their thoughts, experiences, and day to day unique prospective. After doing some research of several psychiatric-mental health nursing blogs, I the following three to be the most insightful and thought provoking mental health and I believe many will enjoy as well.

  1. World of Psychology:
    Psych Central’s premier longest-running blog, focused on the expansive subject that is psychology, human behavior, mental health and illness, and the intersection of technology with all of these things. It is overseen by Dr. John Grohol, and features a regular set of contributors and guest bloggers from many different areas in the field of clinical practice, research and treatment.

  2. Pick the Brain: Grow Yourself
     Produced by Erin Falconer since 2008, this blog is dedicated to depression and other mental health issues, and offers coping skills such as meditation as well as motivation and psychology topics. The blogs are visually inviting and promote an atmosphere of acceptance.

    Blogging emerged due to technology growth. Blogging has many advantages to the medical field for health care professionals. For instance, it promotes collaborate intervention because it will help to with the license health care professional to share their expertise on a particular topic however, not giving medical advice. I have not used blogging until this class which to me this form of communication is just like any other social media with different features. As of now a little difficult because of not use to navigating however, I can defiantly see it essential in the medical field because of timely consulting, cost effective, and conveniences.
