depression and mania that result from psychotherapeutic or psychopharma-
cologic treatment. Changes in either scale of five or more points are
significant These scales are NOT designed to make a diagnosis of either
depression or mania. If you score high on either or both of these scales
and suspect that you are depressed, and/or manic, arrange for an immediate
psychiatric evaluation.

Depression Forums would like to hear from you!
Depression Forums would like to hear from you!
Mental illness affects one in seventeen Americans.
We
would like to invite you to share your story about
your Depression, as breaking the silence will help us to break open the
stigma surrounding mental health that keeps people from getting the
care that continues misunderstandings about those affected by mental
health disorders.
There is nothing better than to speak out, tell your story and get the word out!
There is hope!
Together, we can help ourselves and others.
Warm Regards,
~Lindsay and The Depression Forums Administration Staff
