Depression Resources

If you are affected by depression, take solace in knowing that there is a host of resources available to you that can help you cope, treat and garner support for your condition.

Online Resources

With just a click of your mouse, scores of websites, online support groups, and professional mental health associations can be easily accessed and can offer information, new research news, advice, and tips for how to work through your depression. While most of these services are free, you will want to make sure that you are accessing a reputable organization that is comprised of certified mental health professionals.

Community Support Groups

The city or town you live in likely holds regular mental health support groups that are open and free to the public. Check with your local newspapers to find out the locations and times of meetings. Also, contact your local county health department to find out what kinds of mental health resources are available to you.

Academic Institutions

Often, colleges and universities with mental health programs offer counseling services at much lower rates than seeing a private therapist. While you may be working with a therapist-in-training, such programs are well-monitored and regarded as effective options for receiving mental health care. Check with the academic institutions in your surrounding area to find out which ones offer mental health services.
