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.

Tomorrow I’m going to see a new Psychiatrist with whom I had a preliminary interview with last week. But when I saw him last week he wanted to know if I needed / wanted any meds. He doesn’t even know me and is asking if I want meds already!! I told him that I think he should wait to get to know me before he goes and throws the book ay me and try to diagnose me! It just all seems too textbook for me. Continue reading and give me your comments if you can help me, when you click here.

Unstuck: Your Guide to the Seven-Stage Journey Out of Depression

Dr. Gordon believes that depression is not an end point, a disease over which we have no control. It is a sign that our lives are out of balance, that we’re stuck. It’s a wake-up call and the start of a journey that can help us become whole and happy, one that can change and transform our lives. Unstuck is a practical, easy-to-use guide explaining the seven stages of Dr. Gordon’s approach and the steps we can take to exert control over our own lives and find hope and happiness. Unstuck is designed for anyone who is suffering from depression, from mild subclinical depression (“the blues”) to its severest forms.
