From the Inside

Issues in mental health are primarily presented "from the outside" by doctors, scientists, and other professionals who observe the behavoirs of individuals other than themselves. There are good reasons to believe that this outside perspective, while valuable, is also limited in its ability to make sense of, and to help resolve, issues of mental health. The following links are provided as a contribution to overcoming such limitations by providing descriptions "from the inside," by people experiencing and addressing mental health issues in their own lives and/or in the lives of their family and friends.
