Does anyone know of any non-religious, non-partisan websites dedicated to depression - from general bad moods to severe depression and bipolar disorder - and to helping people get out of bad moods and depression? I was thinking of making one if there's not already a good one out there, but if there is already a good one (which there probably is), I don't want to waste my time making one. -------------------- The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) Famous Last Words - A local pop-punk band They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Why don't you just use google? If you can't find anything by about page five, you can assume that even if something does exist, it's probably not really that good if it's before page five.

If you are trying to help a particular person, you'll do a lot more by talking to that person yourself and convincing him to seek professional help if the problem is serious enough. -------------------- Be careful with a word, as you would with a sword, For it too has the power to kill. However well placed word, unlike a well placed sword, Can also have the power to heal. Posts: 2649 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |

I was actually thinking of creating a site for depressed people in general, but I've thought better of it. Now I feel rather silly for having posted the message on three different boards only to change my mind about it. :o -------------------- The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) Famous Last Words - A local pop-punk band They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

http://www.beyondblue.org.au It's the Australian Depression Initiative or something. Beside from being an "official" site, it actually has a very large amount of useful content, from information on the diseases and their causes, to triggers, and how to both help a) yourself, and b) your friends. Also has good links, from memory. Worth a look, at any rate. Edit: bad url [ Sunday, June 12, 2005 22:21: Message edited by: kuc ] -------------------- A Sucaran Child is standing here.

At the Lyceum I already pointed him to the international version of that initiative at www.beyondblue.org . (See, kiddies, this is why you shouldn't cross-post. It impairs interforum communication.) -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Wow. Okay, that's what I get for assuming it really was the international version of the Australian site rather than a knockoff by a cybersquatter. Whoops. -------------------- My BoE Page Bandwagons are fun! Roots Hunted! Posts: 9973 | Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00 |

Edit2: The first link is slightly off; the link url is ".com.au", but the correct one is ".org.au" like in the anchor.

What I found on the 'Living Well' section of this site is a lot better than what I found anyplace else, it touched more than my mind.
