The facts about depression are shocking and widespread. Below are 7 excellent overview’s each dealing with a different slice of this insidious disease. The source for all of these is from the PBS Home Video Out of the Shadows, Copyright 2008.
I highly recommend this video for anyone living with, or suffering from, depression. With over 20 million American’s afflicted with this illness it is critical to understand the warning signs, symptoms, treatments and success rates that can be had with depression.
Depression is a disease that is often suffered with in silence and isolation. Please know that there is help and with programs like Out of the Sahdows lighting the way, my hope is that you and your loved ones will seek out and receive help.

- How does a dog/animal qualify to become a psychiatric service animal? The Americans with Disabilities Act, 1990, (ADA), defines service animal as: “any animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability.” The ADA defines a disability as: “a mental or physical condition which substantially limits a major life activity such as caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning and working.” To be considered a service animal, the animals must be trained to perform tasks directly related to the person’s disability. “Comforting” or “giving love”, although clinically proven to be beneficial for people, would not be acknowledged as a trained “task” by the Department of Justice, which enforces the ADA. Examples of trained tasks performed by psychiatric service dogs can be found at www.iaadp.org/psd_tasks.html. Source: Delta Society
