Depression is a common and serious disorder. Every year, depression affects 10% of adult Americans over age 18. Depression takes a big toll in suffering and can lead to suicide in severe cases. Family, friends, health, work or school can all be seriously impacted by the disease. However, depression is very treatable. There is hope.

For those who have already been diagnosed with depression and are in treatment, we want to help you learn as much as you can about depression and to offer you support in your recovery. We want to give you up-to-date information about what depression is (and what it isn't). There are some common myths about depression that aren't correct.

We believe that the more you understand about depression and issues like medications, the more likely you are to get the full benefit of treatment.

Finally, if you feel depressed but haven't been diagnosed with depression, read the information here anyway. It may help you to decide to see a doctor or mental health therapist for evaluation and/or treatment.

I know why you bother. Like everybody else here, you are a SURVIVOR. When things start looking up, sure enough, you're going to be running into another brick wall. Then...you swallow it and go on. You survive. It's what you do best. It doesn't matter that you don't handle it well, it matters that you survive.

Surviving America's Depression Epidemic: How to Find Morale, Energy, and Community in a World Gone Crazy

While this is an excellent self-help book, it is not just for the clinically depressed. This well-conceived and researched book illuminates the general malaise tinting the canvas of our lives and validates the background of unhappiness inherent in our contemporary lifestyles--a background often mislabeled as pathological. We are all trying to survive this epidemic. The book is empowering, energizing, and provides a road map to greater psychological health, motivation, and fulfillment.
