Awesome article, very intruiging. I was diagnosed with depression age 27 also (I'm 31 now). After reading this article I wanted to let you know about a treatment I was referred to to treat my depression. Its called an electronic cranial stimulator produced by fisherwallace laboratories - you might be interested in taking a look at it. (http://fisherwallace.com/). Thanks for informing and inspiring people like myself everyday.
Best,Art Stapleton

The groups have helped me to think more positively and have also given me numerous other tools to help with depression and anxiety. The web site for Recovery International is www.recovery-inc.org.
