Testimonials from our readers:

Helpguide saved me from committing suicide after a hard life of violence drug abuse and physical abuse. . . It seemed I was suffering from major depression. . . I thought [Helpguide] wouldn’t help until I tried it myself. Seems it does help to talk or to let friends and family know how you feel and what you are going through. T., New Zealand

I read that this is a passion for you, and not a business. Just so you know, your efforts have at least helped one person, me, to try to alleviate the mental anguish that has accompanied this private condition. . . I have suffered greatly for many years, and your website came along just when I needed it. Anonymous

Thank you so much for this site. It is really the most cohesive and comprehensive site that I have found as I continue my journey to help my bipolar brother who does not acknowledge that he is bipolar. I feel like I can breathe again and am excited about looking into all of the resources that are so clearly mapped out. T., California

In experiencing intense anxiety since the death of a pet, your site has been the most useful, actually helpful, site I have found. Not even the NIMH site, the Mayo Clinic site, or any of the other major medical websites have been as comforting, useful, or come to my aid so often. Thank you. A., Colorado

As I read ‘signs of teen depression’ it screamed [my daughter's name]. . . I handed her the print out and asked her to tell me what she thought, in her own time. After an hour she came through to me crying and said she felt all that she had read. . . This is truly a wonderful web site that gave us a starting point to her healing. D., New Zealand

I have just been informed that my child suffers from ADD and was very surprised as I always thought children with ADD were naughty and disruptive which he is not at all . . . Now with the help of this article I will be able to help him a lot more instead of thinking he is just lazy and can’t be bothered. I now know he needs help in becoming organized, following through and completing tasks. L., Spain
