Well if you are looking for live support check the mental health section in your city or county and they will be able to tell you where to find one. There is one very good site that I know of online and I will place the link below. Give it a try the forum is run very smoothly and the site is taken care of my pyschologist.

I don't know of any specific sites, but if you look inside, or on the back of your psych. textbook, there will probably be a website listed. These websites are good because they often have links to practice quizzes that tend to be similar to the ones professors give. \n\nGive it a try.

There's actually no disorder called schizophrenia bipolar type (at least not in the US).  You may want to get an exact diagnosis from a doctor in writing; you'll need it when applying to nursing school because schizophrenia and bipolar are both mental illnesses protected under the ADA (they can't refuse to let you in school because of the condition unless it interferes with your ability to do your work or pass the classes; and you might be eligible for additional funding or help as well).

Doctor J is right. I don't know if you mean a physiological or psychological disorder. If it is mental health you are concerned with, try the following link. It will start you off with finding and getting help for mental disorders, in particular O.C.D., and give you a wealth of other information and options, as well.

Mmm, not sure what catagorisation you're using there.\n\nNormal treatments for mental illness;\n\nPharmacological therapy.\nElectro-convlsive therepy.\nCognitive behaviour therapy.\nPlay therapy (in paeds).\n\nYou might also want to note the role of supporting specialities such as psychiatrists, occupational therapists, social workers and so on.\n\nWiki has a list of 'therapies', some of which might actually be used;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_psychotherapies

sociology is the study of society and its culture. As a result, all social policy will have a baring on sociology but will often be based on the sociological theory favoured by the government of the day (we seem to have a government obsessed by Hayek's neo liberallism at the moment.)

I did one on the history of insane asylums.\nAlso, I did one on how multiple personality disorder and schizophrenia were often mistaken for demonic possession.

Over the centuries and millenia, persons with mental disorders have been vilified and feared.  Persons with disorders have been drugged, locked away, chained to walls, shunned from society, killed, been used as experiments for brain exploration (such as holes drilled in their heads, lobotomys on their brains performed), etc.\n\nOnly in the recent decades has mental illness found a more receptive audience in the Medical Community as well as the General Public, with the recognition that many of the problems can be altered or treated with medications and social interventions.\n\nOne of the recent problems developing has been attempts by the Government to reduce the expense of caring for these sorts of individuals in large sequestered groups by attempting to place them into the community.  OStensibly this was supposed to make life better for them, but, in fact, has made things worse since there are fewer interventions available and less direct supervision.\n\nMany of these individuals have committed crimes (whether intentional or not) and have simply been moved from close supervision in Facilities to Prisons and Jails.. a different sort of institution but with basically the same sorts of controls they need to function with their limitations.\n\nUntil the government realizes that there is an actual and real need for sequestering for safely and monitoring, persons will continue to get lost in between the cracks.\n\nMy sons are both Autistic, and the strides made even in the last decade has been remarkable.
