LIST OF GOOD PSYCHIATRISTS, THERAPISTS,
INPATIENT HOSPITALS NORTH OF BOSTON

(within large radius of Reading, Woburn, Wakefield, Burlington, Lexington)
Web URL: squish7.com / list   [Last modified September 2008]


Patients and DMH workers: If you find this list helpful, please email me quick opinions or current or missing information.  This is a decently distributed list and others would find a minute of your time helpful.  These types of lists are usually maintained by group effort.  I can't constantly investigate five dozen listings by myself.  Thanks!  --Squish

EMAIL: fix the spelling of skwish in the following: skwish/AT/skwish7 DOT com (this avoids bots)

I believe I have good experience untangling some of the subtle differences between bipolar, ADD, and schizophrenia.  If you're looking for a rough self-diagnosis, I've compiled a comparison / contrast chart of all the main symptoms on my main abnormal psychology page.
