INTRODUCTIONIn any given year about 18.8 million American adults, suffer from a depressive illness. The economic cost for this disorder is US $40 billion per year, but the cost in human suffering cannot be estimated. Depressive illnesses often interfere with normal functioning and cause pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who care about them. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the ill person. But much of this suffering is unnecessary.
Most people with a depressive illness do not seek treatment because they do not recognize that depression is a treatable illness. WHAT IS DEPRESSION?Depressive is a mental illness that involves the body, mood and thoughts. It affects the way a person eats and sleeps, the way one feels about oneself, and the way one thinks about things. Depression is not the same as a passing blue mood nor is a sign of personal weakness.TYPES OF DEPRESSIONDepressive manifest itself in different...

Electroboy Fights Stigma of Mental Illness
Los Angeles, CA (ContentDesk) May 11, 2006 -- For Virginia Woolf, Sylvia Plath, and Vivien Leigh, bipolar disorder (or manic depression) has no doubt played a large role in their mythology and legend. But for Andy Behrman, author of "Electroboy: A Memoir of Mania," bipolar disorder is an illness he copes with on a daily basis, and not what defines him or his creative legacy."Electroboy" is Behrman's chronicle of his battle with bipolar disorder which nearly ended his life and led him into one of alcohol and drug abuse, sexual promiscuity and illegal activities including an art counterfeiting scheme which the New York media lapped up and for which he was ultimately convicted and sentenced to prison.Eliminating the stigma of mental illness is the goal of Behrmans one-man crusade, as he crisscrosses the country speaking to hundreds of mental health support groups, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, nurses, college audiences and book clubs. With more and more young people being diagnosed...

South Florida Dems seek Post Election Selection therapy over Kerry loss or "Gloating Republicans Dance over the Flames of Lossing Party"
The unfortunate suicide of 25 year old Andrew Veal of Georga over Senator John Kerry's loss last week illustrates the degree some supporters might go.
What is being called "Post Election Selection Depression" is by no means relegated to just a few.
Many throughout this country have been traumatized by not just President Bush's narrow victory, but John Kerry's narrow loss. In an effort to minimize Post Election Selection Depression or PESD many feel, The American Health Association is offering free PESD support groups with licensed mental health clinicians through the end of the year,or until this divide between Republicans and Democrats subside.Post Election Selection Depression is like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder only short-term said Rob Gordon, the Boca Raton based Executive Director of the American Health Association, himself a registered mental health counselor intern.

Stigma Still Getting In The Way Of Treatment
(NC)-Mental illness is something that many people still talk about in hushed voices. Those afflicted are frequently embarrassed about their condition, worrying that they will be seen as 'weak' or that others will somehow think less of them. Unfortunately this stigma often stands in the way of open dialogue and understanding. As a result, many sufferers go untreated and/or are subjected to ridicule and discrimination. Given that so many suffer from mental illness, it's ironic that so few are willing to openly discuss it, and that many still considered the affliction to be 'abnormal'.
Here are some more mental health eye-openers:
- Major depression is now the world's leading cause of disability
- The treatment success rate for schizophrenia is 60 percent, 65 percent for major depression, and 80 percent for bipolar disorder. This compares favorably to rates for heart disease of only 40 - 50 per cent
- Stigma and fear still prevent many from seeking out appropriate care....

On July 18, 2005, the FDA approved vagus nerve stimulation therapy as a treatment for chronic depression. This is the first ever FDA-approved long term treatment option for sufferers of treatment-resistant depression(TRD). Over four million Americans suffer from TRD. I was a study patient in the investigational clinical trial of vagus nerve stimulation and depression.Just over four years ago, I sat in the Psychiatrist's office at the study site (there were 20 different sites around the United States) that was conducting the investigational clinical trial for vagus nerve stimulation as a therapy for chronic or treatment-resistant depression. I had found about the study completely by accident.
I was desperate (not suicidal). I had gone through the merry-go-around of all available antidepressants/antidepressants combinations, ECT, psychotherapy, etc. I was tired and worn out from living in utter despair. I had never heard of the vagus nerve (it is the longest nerve in the body, averaging...
