If you missed Wednesdays broadcast of Depression: Out of the Shadows on PBS, or if you'd like to see it again, there's good news! It's now available on the PBS web site. You can watch it online, read the transcript, or purchase a copy of the video. Just visit THIS PAGE on the PBS site.
When I saw your writing I wanted to see it, but it was after the fact. Flipping channels in the middle of the night, I saw it airing again and was pleased I was able to experience it.
I just watched another informative thing on tv on Discovery Channel about OCD, Depression and medications. It was enlightening as well.

I too got so much out of that show, I watched it again online and ordered the DVD which is on back order for a few weeks and printed several peoples stories from the pbs website. I learned about NAMI, found this website and another forum about depression-- definitely worth watching since depression doesnt seem to be mentioned too often on television like cancer or heart disease, diabetes etc 32,000 died in 2005 from suicide in US, over 800,000 attempts--seems like the stigma keeps it off television to some extent--

Hi Teri -
Thank you so much for following up with the link to the PBS story. I missed your first post but was able to watch the story via this link. It answered a lot of questions Ive had and it was real informative while helping me to see some things much clearer.
You're very welcome. I so appreciate that they put this online. PBS is usually pretty good about that.
I'm glad it helped answer some of your questions.
Teri
Funny thing is that Im working on my annual, very stressful work project this weekend. I had the TV on for background noise and this program happened to come on again after watching it online this morning. The funny part is that I could hear my husband listening to it in the other room too which I was very glad about as at this point, as I do believe we could both use help.
I am in a better position then I was last year (when you guys pulled me through a difficult period) but this show did let me see that I am far from being where I need to be. Im just trying to take it one thing at a time. Thats all I can handle right now.
Thank you again for everything.
