Depression Forums Welcome's you!
   Our mission is to create an atmosphere that is both supportive and informative in a caring, safe environment for our members to talk to their peers about depression, anxiety, mood disorders, medications, therapy and recovery. Depression Forums Is A Proud Sponsor of The 2010 Walk To Washington To Raise Awareness for DepressionAug. 14, 2010 marks the beginning of a 50-day cross-country trek 835-miles-long to raise awareness for depression. Walkers start in St. Louis, Mo. and finish in Washington D.C. where they will hand over a petition—one million signatures strong—proving that government and health care organizations need to support individuals with depression. With each mile walked, the walkers will raise awareness for three crucial principles: Ensure equitable and adequate mental health treatment coverage in all public and private health care plans; Support policies that promote individual and family recovery from mental illnesses as integral to overall health; Commit to investing in America’s prevention, early intervention, treatment, and research related to depression. by Forum Admin, 2010-02-08 12:30:00 More...

 Secondhand Blues It is almost a cliché to say that we are social animals. But the fact that we are has very deep implications for both our biology and our psychology. We are born utterly dependent; from the moment we pop out, a social relationship becomes essential to living, namely the relationship with our mother (as well as other family members). Through that dependency—for physical survival and mental, social, physical, and sensory stimulation—we form connections with other people who become significant in shaping our view of ourselves and of the world around us. That socialization process also structures the brain in important and enduring ways. Through the complex processes of socialization, families can create in their members, and especially in their children, either susceptibility or resistance to depression that can last a lifetime. by Forum Admin, 2010-07-25 16:00:00 More...  Overcoming Anxiety with Mindfulness TherapyBy Peter Strong, Ph.D.
Jul 20 2010 - 12:55pm General
Anxiety Disorder is a very common condition that affects many of us at
some time in our lives. At any one time it is estimated that least 10
million people in the US have been diagnosed with GAD and are actively
seeking treatment through medication or some form of cognitive therapy.
In essence recurrent anxiety is a form of intense worrying about health, work, fear of the future or a wide range of situations that may occur in the future that creates an immense amount of emotional suffering. So what can we do to control our anxiety levels? by Lindsay, 2010-07-21 00:30:00 More...  Happier youths are also healthier youths Happier
youths are also healthier youths, according to Emily Shaffer-Hudkins and
her team, from the University of South Florida in the US.
ScienceDaily (July 8, 2010) — According to Emily Shaffer-Hudkins and her team, from the University of South Florida in the US. Adolescents' positive emotions and moods, as well as their satisfaction with life, could be more important than their anxiety or depression levels for predicting their physical health, they argue. Looking at teenagers' so-called 'subjective well-being' could help identify those likely to develop health problems in the future and target them with appropriate prevention strategies. Shaffer-Hudkins' work is published in Springer's journal Applied Research in Quality of Life. by Lindsay, 2010-07-20 22:00:00 More...  How Music Training Primes Nervous System and Boosts Learning An active
engagement with musical sounds not only enhances neuroplasticity, but
also enables the nervous system to provide the stable scaffolding of
meaningful patterns so important to learning, researchers say.
ScienceDaily (July 20, 2010) — Those ubiquitous wires connecting listeners to you-name-the-sounds from invisible MP3 players -- whether of Bach, Miles Davis or, more likely today, Lady Gaga -- only hint at music's effect on the soul throughout the ages. Now a data-driven review by Northwestern University researchers that will be published July 20 in Nature Reviews Neuroscience pulls together converging research from the scientific literature linking musical training to learning that spills over to skills including language, speech, memory, attention and even vocal emotion. The science covered comes from labs all over the world, from scientists of varying scientific philosophies, using a wide range of research methods. by Forum Admin, 2010-07-24 18:00:00 More...
