Welcome
Welcome.This site will hopefully be a place of information...a place of sharing...a place of comfort.
In greater numbers, people are being touched by depression and other forms of mental illness. I can't say for certainty that the numbers are growing, or if it's just that people are both more aware of it and/or are willing to talk about it. Yet there is still a stigma to the subject -- it's not a topic for light cocktail-hour conversation. Too many people still have the attitude that mental illness is a personality defect, not a "real" illness...all those folks need to do is snap out of it, stop focusing on themselves. And yes, for some people finding a project or reaching out to others can alleviate mild depressions...but that's not the case in all instances. For many people, more serious measures are required.
I'll be posting news items (with links) -- eventually, as this blog gets underway, I'd like to invite others to contribute their findings as well. I'll try to update it several days a week (I'll be on vacation in June, but I'll attempt to do some work then -- I'll have my laptop with me.)
So, friends, let us begin our journey...
