It is estimated that one person in six will suffer a major depressive episode a some point in life.
Depression is very costly in terms of treatment and lost time at work or school.
It is a major cause of misery and human suffering. It often leads to suicide. I have been affected by depression for nearly twenty years and have had several major episodes of depression. I have examined many of the resources available on the Internet searching for answers. Listing these sites here is not an endorsement of the sites, merely an acknowledgement that the resources exist and may prove helpful to someone.
