Web-based Self-Help

 have been finding a number of self-help websites that help people deal with depression and anxiety.  Here are a few of them:

  • MySelfHelp.com
    • I highly recommend this interactive self-help tool that uses cognitive behavioral therapy to assist the user in dealing with his problems.  I’ve been using it now for a month, and it has already helped me improve my sleeping patterns.  The depression section is good, but it doesn’t seem to be as well developed as the “Conquer Insomnia” section.  There is a journal, sleep diary, calendar, medicine tracker, depression log, stress table, and many other interactive tools.
  • Robert F. Sarmiento’s Cyber Psychologist
    • This site has some helpful information, but seems to contain the standard helps found elsewhere.  It is a completely non-interactive website.  Even so, I really found the section on Therapy Goals to be very useful.

For the past month I have been using MySelfHelp.com.  It seems to be a good resource on depression and on conquering insomnia.  I recommend it.
