Are you just cruising the web looking for good sites? Try one of the many Webrings. These are websites which are connected together in a ring. You can move from one to the next along the ring, jump ahead, or jump to a random site. This is a nice break from search engines, and some interesting and eclectic sites are linked to these rings.
The Human Mind Webring links a variety of different sites which focus on the human mind. This is a large ring, with 51 sites at last count. Hop on wherever you like and move easily from one site to the next. An excellent way to get a feel for the variety of mental health sites out there.
The Anxiety Webring links sites which deal with anxiety disorders. The sites are diverse and include a site devoted to real-time Java chat.
Abuse survivors may have the record for the number of mental health rings. The Survivors of Abuse Ring, The Survivors Line Around The World , and Let The Truth Ring Out! all contain sites related to surviving forms of abuse.
The Ring of Recovery and Health contains sites related to 12-step recovery groups and health, while the Ring Of Special Needs Children connects sites focusing on children with special needs.
The Neuro Ring is an eclectic mix of neurology and mental health sites. Some sites are academic and intimidating, such as the Unipolar Brush Cell Information page (inactive 6/99) which is described as "An explanation/description of a relatively newly described cell type called the unipolar brush cell that is found in the vestibulo-cerebellum, cerebellar vermis and the dorsal cochlear nucleus." Others are more self-help oriented.
The Brain Injury Webring links various sites dealing with the topic of brain injury. Some of these sites are personal homepages, such as one that tells the very personal story of a woman's recovery from a brain aneurysm.
Variations of webrings have sprung up on many different subjects. Mental Health Chase combines a webring and an award site. An interesting place to start exploring mental health on the web.
