Mental Health Resources

While many of the resources available through APA are geared toward psychiatry professionals, they do have a series of webpages devoted to “patients and families.” These resources include topic pages for many illnesses complete with patient stories, topic summaries, Expert Q&A, and relevant blog or news articles.

In addition to being the organization responsible for the popular citation style, APA’s website offers a wealth of information for those interested in psychology-related topics. Available topics expand beyond typical mental illnesses and include issues like shyness, trauma, learning and memory, and even parenting. Each topic includes not only related articles and resources, but also includes a scrolling display of related APA publications. Recommended books range from those with a professional audience to children’s picture books.
