Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.

have you tried an on-line search/google for therapists? Check your local phone directory? If you can not find someone to recommend a therapist, then you may want to schedule appointments with several and go in with a list of your questions/criteria....like an interview, you interview the therapist to find out if you like them. That is what i did, and it helped. If I called someone and they sounded funny on the phone, or when I met one and they blinked their eyelids in fast repetitive motion....I knew for me that person was not someone I wanted to visit with on a regular basis. A lot of therapists will let you come in for a free initial session so you have an opportunity to check it out. Good luck to you.
