NAMI's condition pages are less technical than NIMH's and often easier as a first read for a worried family member. They include practical sections on supporting a loved one, navigating crisis, and what to ask a clinician.
NAMI also runs a free national helpline (1-800-950-NAMI) and local affiliate support groups in most U.S. metros.
Mental Hum's library is a curated index of authoritative third-party resources. The summary above is our own framing; the full information lives at the source.
