What is it like to care for someone with depression? Here you can discuss what to do and what not to do. And, crucially, what you can do to look after yourself too.

What helped you recover? What keeps you well? Share your experiences here.

Most people still use the term "mental health" as a euphemism for mental illness. But mental health should be a goal for everyone.

For many years, mental health policy has focused on improving access to mental health services. But for many people with depression, it is wider social and economic policy issues that cause depression and stand as barriers to recovery. Is it time to re-think policy? What are the issues we should be campaigning on?

Are you aware of new research into depression? Perhaps you are a researcher looking for volunteers, or even for ideas about how research might be carried out. Or are you someone with personal experience who wants to encourage research into a particular aspect of the condition. Discuss your ideas here.
