While I’m on the topic of depression, The National Institute of Mental Health has a number of valuable resources on depression and its treatment.
The newest one, I believe, is a video. It is aimed at a general audience so that they can “learn about signs, symptoms and research on depression.” The video can be viewed at the NIMH website, click here.
The NIMH also has a fact sheet: Depression: A Treatable Illness.
They also have a pamphlet for men:Real Men Real Depression. Judging by how quickly this pamphlet vanishes from the reading material in the waiting room, you may find it very helpful.
Not to leave women out, the NIMH’s Women and Depression: Discovering Hope is a more extensive booklet than the others mentioned here.
For more information about depression and other mental health topics from authoritative sources, please visit the Links and Search Engines page on my website.
