DEPRESSION: Out of the Shadows
Premiers on PBS, channel 9 in SF Bay Area, Wednesday, May 21
The National Institute of Mental Health reports that approximately 18.8 million American adults have a depressive disorder. The disease is not discriminating, seeping into all age, race, gender, and socioeconomic groups.
DEPRESSION: Out of the Shadows is a multi-dimensional PBS project that explores the disease's complex terrain, offering a comprehensive and timely examination of this devastating disorder.
The first component of the project is a 90-minute documentary, premiering May 21, 2008, at 9:00 pm ET. By weaving together the science and treatment of depression with intimate portrayals of families and individuals coping with its wide-ranging effects, the film raises awareness and eliminates the stigma surrounding this prevalent disease, underscoring the fact that whether we are battling it in our families, our workplaces, or in our own minds, depression touches everyone.

Umm... does that mean 6 pm here? You know these things confuse me... We can watch it though, it should be interesting. I think Patty Duke was depressed.
