Dr. Ivan's Depression Central |
|
|
Dr. Ivan K. Goldberg, a
psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist and former staff member of the National Institute of
Mental Health, has created a wonderful resource of mental health websites, articles and
expert advise focused on depression. It's obvious Dr. Goldberg is a doctor and not a web
designer because the multi-colored bars and rotating "new" icons leave something
to be desired, but the content does not. Everything you could want to know about
depression can be found on this site from border personality disorders to premenstrual
dysphoria. If the information you want isn't on this site, you'll be directed to
textbooks, organizations or other websites that can help you.
