Internet Mental Health is an award-winning site that provides a wealth of information on mental and emotional disorders and their treatment. A large section on drugs used to treat the disorders explains what the drugs are supposed to do and their potential side effects. The 52 most common mental disorders including description, diagnosis, treatment, and research findings are provided. The site even includes an "online diagnosis" feature that, as the site notes, is NOT a substitute for seeing a trained mental health professional. However, the diagnosis feature does help clarify the criteria used to classify mental health problems.
