Featured Government Website in May

National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) http://www.nimh.nih.gov

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This month, the featured government site is National Institute of Mental Health. The mission of NIMH is to transform the understanding and treatment of mental illnesses through basic and clinical research, paving the way for prevention, recovery, and cure. Notable sections of the site include: Health Topics (Depression, Eating Disorders, Social Phobias, and more) with clinical trials, statistical reports, and publications; Research and Funding where one can learn about major NIMH research areas and funding opportunities; and Science News archive dating back to 2002. The site provides plenty of opportunities for social networking, with links to NIMH accounts on Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube.
