I am the author of this website. Let me briefly share two other websites (non-medical) I created that you may like.
I am interested in psychology, and the first website I have created explains how to think in ways that help improve one’s happiness. The website, called “Happy Thinking”, is entirely free, and you can visit it by CLICKING HERE.
I am also interested in fiction writing, and my second website is for those who love cats. The website explains how cats, using their mysterious powers, secretly run the whole world! This amusing website is called “Secret Power of Cats”, and you can visit it by CLICKING HERE.
Please share the above links with your friends and family. Thank you!
