Message from the Editor/About Us
Welcome! My name is Dr. Joanne Chao and I am a psychologist and editor of
depression-help-resource.com. Over the years, I have seen many clients suffer
from depression and the resulting need for simple, accurate information about
their illness. Because of limited knowledge or misinformation, I often find
clients feeling ashamed, weak or thinking they're “crazy” for feeling depressed.
Many people do not seek the help they need because of these feelings or
misconceptions. This site was created with the following mission:
To provide easy-to-understand information about depression with the aim
of educating, decreasing stigma around depression and encouraging depressed
persons to get the help they need (or aid people in helping a loved one).
On depression-help.resource.com, you will find information on: the causes,
signs and types of depression; sample depression tests; and treatments available
including antidepressants, therapy and natural remedies for depression. Also
check out our helpful articles and other resources for depression. Articles on
various depression topics are often being added, so please check back
often. If you see a topic you would like covered (or a helpful resource we're
missing), please
let
us know. (Soon we will be adding a depression forum where you can
post questions and comments.)
Clients have found this information helpful and I hope you do too.
If you would like to share your comments, please
email me.
To Your Health & Happiness,
Joanne Chao, Psy.D.
