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.
hey all -
i'm looking for your advice...we added CATEGORIES to depression not so long ago so that folks could get directly to the information that matters to them most. in addition to having a wonderful place for folks to just hang out, many of our members, especially new members, want answers to questions, and want to be able to quickly get to the topics that matter to them.
i'd like to expand the categories we have in depression so that they can better suit all of your needs. here's some ideas:
- Instead of TREATMENTS, break it up into ANTIDEPRESSANTS, THERAPY and possibly ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS
- Been thinking about some sort of "IN CRISIS" area for folks who need support and want to offer help. But I'm worried that it'll be alot of folks who need help...not as many folks who are there to help?
- Other ideas? What other topics are important enough to be set aside as a category?

2 other ideas i'd love your feedback on:
1) should we have a POSITIVE THOUGHTS board? For the good stuff? Not just the bad stuff?
2) Should we break out TREATMENTS into ANTIDEPRESSANTS, THERAPIES and ALTERNATIVE TREATMENTS? (I asked this before...haven't gotten much response)
The diversity is appreciated.
: )
Best of both worlds.
I think the ignore feature would be very good, and may stop a lot of the current grief that is making people leave. Uh, assuming that part of the ignore feature is that people on our ignore list can't send us PMs or Hugs.
