What
are people saying about
Moodletter?
"On-target
topics, deserves to be read"
Of all the issues in my business that need explaining, from ECT
to Wellbutrin, your choice of what to put on your home page is remarkable:
very on target with current questions for which many people need
answers, or with basic information of interest. After the first
four, I kept going on to the next one thinking "will all of
them be this on-target?" - and they were.
You've
done an excellent job putting the site together (very clean and
easy to navigate as well). I have put you at the top of my recommended
sites list. You deserve to be read.
Jim
Phelps, M.D.,author of Why Am I Still Depressed? Recognizing and
Managing the Ups and Downs of Bipolar II and Soft Bipolar Disorder,
publisher of a comprehensive web site on bipolar disorder and a
practicing psychiatrist in Corvallis, Oregon.
(Dr. Phelps
has since joined the editorial advisory board of Moodletter.)
"Hope, humor, serious reporting"
"Moodletter is a delightful resource for those with
anxiety and mood disorders. Its balanced mix of upbeat reporting
on a variety of topics-from life skills to treatment to general
health issues-brings a gentle breeze of hope to all. Its humor makes
me smile, and its serious reporting makes me think!"
Jane
Mountain, M.D., author of Bipolar Disorder: Insights for Recovery,
founder of the Denver Depression/Bipolar Recovery Group
and a contributing editor to ISBD Global, newsletter of the International
Society for Bipolar Disorders.

As a member of the board of NAMI Jeffco and a NAMI Family-to-Family

as supportive and educational. Thank you."

"Heart and soul…honest information"
UNBELIEVABLE!!
I just read the entire newsletter! What an incredible issue!
Thank you for
giving so much of your heart and soul into creating a tool such
