Bipolar Entrepreneur Launches Free Mental Health Social Network
December 3, 2009 -- Naples, FL -- Mental Health Social, LLC (www.MentalHealthSocial.com) is a new social network devoted to mental health issues. The mental health social network enables those with mental health conditions or those interested in learning about those conditions to connect in a comfortable online environment. Members can share stories and experiences in anonymity to connect with others going through similar challenges in their lives or connect to other people assisting loved ones who are facing mental health issues.
Company President and CEO, Colin Spencer Wood, understands the need for community in this industry. Wood was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1999 and sees MentalHealthSocial.com as a lifeline of sorts.
"When people suffer from mental health conditions, they can sometimes feel isolated," said Wood. "There might not be anyone else in a patient's life that has experienced their condition, which can make it difficult for family and friends to relate or understand what they're going through. MentalHealthSocial.com eliminates those feelings of isolation by bringing people with similar experiences together. Sometimes people just need someone to talk to who really understands whatever mental health condition they're dealing with."
Mental Health Social allows users to create profiles where they can choose to share information about themselves, post videos, upload audio or photographs, and offer or receive help from likeminded members of the community.
"MentalHealthSocial.com was created with the mental health community in mind," said Wood. "Currently no other Web site caters to that community in the way Mental Health Social does. The company is about more than connecting people though. Mental Health Social will also actively work to raise money for mental health related nonprofit organizations that bring awareness and treatment options to the very community the social network serves."
MentalHealthSocial.com lets users communicate through email-style messaging, instant messaging / chat platforms, blogging, status updates, commenting, and within forums. Other features include free classifieds, polls, events, and the ability to create narrower social groups within the network.
