I have to examine at least two mental disorders and two mental illnesses from the perspective of psychology. Do you know of any sites that can help me with this. Thank you.

" disorder"? "illness" ?

Exactly what is the difference? Surely your teacher did not make a distinction.

Most reputable professionals dispute the term mental "illness", since it is NOT mental at all, but neurological in nature. Ask your instructor about this, and see if he has read of it. It is common knowledge here in Texas.
