Top Psychology News Today

Another year has passed and with it, we’ve all grown a little older. And perhaps a little wiser as well.

But we’ve also experienced deep loss this year as well, with the tragic suicide of Robin Williams — just one of the estimated 800, 000 people who take their own lives each year. A marker of just how much further we have to go.

Here at Psych Central we try every day to reach more people with our message of hope — we now serve more than 7 million people from around the world each month. They come here not only to learn about a mental health concern, but also about common psychological topics and issues, and to learn how to improve their relationships and parenting skills. Our two online support communities are now home to over 220 support groups for our 417, 000 members.

With a new year comes the potential of a new start and changing some of those aspects about yourself that could use a little improvement. We’ll be here for you to help you with those goals, with great new articles on these topics from experts, professionals and people just like you.
