  • Blogger, Advocate, Consumer

    I love blogs. I think they're just so cool. I especially love mental health blogs. It's great that people are able to share their thoughts on mental health in such a reader-friendly format. Mental Health Minutes is one such blog, and Jennifer Forbes is one such stigma-buster. I recently e-mailed...

  • Are Kids and Teens Overdiagnosed and Overmedicated?

    I was first inspired to feature articles about mental illness from different religious authorities by NAMI FaithNet . Out of the Silence does not endorse any specific faith, but it recognizes how important a role religion and spirituality can play in recovery. These articles will hopefully reassure you...

  • How To Get Help

    By: Dr. Romeo Vitelli When the question below first came up in the "Ask A Doctor" forum , I realized how important finding an answer would be. While my tactic for getting help (driving to a medical complex and banging on all the doors at 9 pm until I finally found a psychiatrist) worked in...

  • PANDAS

    By: Drs. Erich Storch and Jason Gallant While trying to come up with topics for the articles from experts, a woman saw my article in the local paper and e-mailed me. She suggested that, based on my background story, it was likely that my OCD was at least exacerbated by the 10 cases of strep throat I...
