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.

I haven't seen anyone attacked as you put it.. I've seen encouragement, compassion and sincere posts.
If you're not getting what you need here there are many other boards on the net to go to..
wishing you all the best in your quest for 'real help'...
I'v already met some really nice people here.
