If your community has been hit by a natural disaster, you’re probably trying to make sense of what happened and deal with the stress of the situation. These events create a tremendous amount of stress and anxiety for those directly and indirectly affected. In the days and weeks following the disaster, you may begin to have some of these common reactions.
As part of our ongoing international efforts to coordinate volunteer mental health professionals willing to offer counselling, therapy, and other mental health support services to those affected by the tsunami, we are now providing our database to the British Red Cross for supporting those affected in the United Kindom.
Following readers’ positive response to our addition of a drug research abstracts library to our Medications Centre, we have now expanded the library to cover even more of the latest research, including clinical trials, outcome research, drug safety and more.
This companion to our larger general mental health glossary covers terms commonly used in mental health in the context of children and adolescents.
After several weeks of testing, our Medications Centre now includes the latest drug research abstracts from the medical and pharmacological literature. This library of the latest drug research covers a range of medications commonly used for mental health purposes and is updated regularly, every single day; if you can’t find it here, it probably hasn’t been published yet!
