(Updated 5/23/21) This list is comprised of 70+ academic journals that you can access online. Most of the journals are open-access; others offer limited access (with some free articles).
All of the publications are related to mental health, addiction, or wellness. I use many of them for research for this blog.
The research is relevant to all health professionals and to anyone who is interested in learning more about mental illness.
