Physicians and people who are troubled by mental health problems are often confused about where to turn for services. PsychBASE is designed to solve that problem by providing a comprehensive community guide to local and national behavioral health resources. It is available in a digest format and on the Internet.

The guide is distributed free to primary care physicians, neurologists, psychiatrists, and behavioral health care professionals across the United States and contains a directory of psychiatrists and mental health professionals, facilities, and support groups for a particular area.

PsychBase.com is the online version of the directory. Physicians and other clinicians listed in the guide are able to update their information via the Web site at any time.

Sponsored by pharmaceutical companies such as Solvay and Wyeth-Ayerst, treatment facilities, and hospitals that buy advertising in the directories, this service is free to those who access the directory and to those mental health professionals listed.
