HealthyPlace.com Relaunch: New Look, New Content, New Mental Health Tools

HealthyPlace.com, the largest consumer mental health site, re-launches with important new features for the more than 30 million people who suffer from anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder

February 23, 2009, San Antonio, Texas—HealthyPlace.com, which provides the most extensive depression and anxiety information on the internet, unveils several important new features for those who suffer from mood disorder-related illnesses.

HealthyPlace.com now features HealthyPlace Mediminder, a free medication reminder tool. Subscribers receive an e-mail or text message reminding them to take their medication or refill their prescription. Another tool is the HealthyPlace Mood Tracker, an online Mood Journal. The Mood Tracker is designed to help those with bipolar disorder or depression recognize and manage disruptive mood patterns as well gage the effectiveness of their psychiatric medications. A special feature of the HealthyPlace Mood Tracker is an automated message that is sent to the user's designee if their mood falls into their danger zone (seriously depressed or manic). The site also features a Clinical Trial Finder linked to the National Institute of Health's clinical trial database and HealthyPlace TV, a Live, weekly, mental health TV show aired over the internet.

In addition, there are two new sections written by awarding-winning mental health author, Julie Fast: The Gold Standard for Treating Depression and The Gold Standard for Treating Bipolar Disorder.   These are in-depth, authoritative examinations of the best treatments for depression and bipolar disorder, including a discussion of medications and therapy as well as other elements of learning how to manage these potentially debilitating psychiatric disorders.
