Today I looked at a on-line community about depression this is what I found.
This is a site that has been set up by the Ministry of Health in 2009 for people who are interested in depression.
The Home page has a title page "Understanding more about depression will help you find a way through with an interactive J.K. who is use as a guide through the site. The viewer can do a test to see if they are depressed and then there is an interactive journal to do about depression and how to change a person situation . This is an personal journal that is done daily and will take a week or longer to complete. The journal has headings 1.Do Something Positive, 2. Lifestyle changes, 3. Identify problems, 4. Find Solutions, 5. Create Plan ^. Review Your Progress.
The site has tabs that have heading like: Is This Depression and under this a another set of tabs Sign & Symptoms, Self-Test, Other Peoples Stories. This is used as an introduction to the site and has a test to take to check out if you may be depressed.
The site has a freephone number for people requiring help because they are depressed and need help. The test you take tells you if you are fine or require help by J.K. telling you to get help as he is concerned about the results the test gave you. This may be of help to someone if they do need help. On the site there are a number of different refers to where you can go for help and there is wall so a tab that talks about recovery and how to manage yourself and what to be aware of that can course problems for a person who gets depressed. This is a very good site with a positive message for those who use it and used the information for themselves and for others the may know because there is a caregivers tab also.
