National Depression Week (U.K.)

By Jane Chin, Ph.D. ⋅ Post a comment

For my U.K. friends, last week (April 17-23) was National Depression Week 2006 per Depression Alliance, UK’s leading charity for people who suffer from depression.

The theme this year was complementary therapies, based on queries the organization received from people interested in self-help treatment and complementary treatments with their depression therapies.

The website also has a nice alert for those considering St. John’s Wort, and what precautions people must take when considering self-medicating with this herb.

For my Canadian friends, May 1-7 will be Mental Health week across Canada. Please check for updates under Canadian Mental Health Association’s website, in the section titled, “Media & Events.”
