Depression Awareness Week
Depression Awareness Week runs from 16th to 22nd April and is a great opportunity to raise the profile of depression and raise money to improve services. Launched by Depression Alliance over 12 years ago, the successful initiative has grown from strength to strength, with support from health professionals, politicians and the general public.
Depression Alliance are the UK’s leading charity for those suffering with depression and the organisation works hard to relieve and prevent the treatable condition by providing information and support. The charity believes that “the stigma and lack of accurate information surrounding depression continues to prevent people from seeking and finding appropriate and vital help when it is required”.

In the UK at least, Depression is now the third biggest reason to visit a GP and yet, outside of the medical field, very few people understand what Depression is all about.
You might therefore be interested in a brand new DVD just released by my company called EVERYTHING YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT DEPRESSION and presented by UK Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Darryl Britto, who made the DVD especially for Depression patients and those training in the medical field. He discusses the myths about Depression, as well as its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, the various treatment including antidepressants, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and Social Intervention, and then goes on to discuss prognosis (outcomes of treatment.)
