Depression Support Group

Living with a chronic illness like depression can feel overwhelming at times. That's why it's important to seek depression support to help manage your mood and enjoy your life to the fullest. Whether from your spouse, your therapist, or a depression support group, there are plenty of caring contacts available to give you much-needed support.People often say it's helpful to be able to talk to someone who understands their perspective," says Pam Todd, membership services co-ordinator for Depression Alliance, a charity that provides support to people affected by depression. "The realisation that you're not alone is very important.""Many people say they feel ashamed about being depressed," says Pam. "When they meet other people with depression and realise that there are other competent individuals who suffer from depression, it can really help their self-esteem."
