In reply to National Depression Screening Day, posted by Noa on October 6, 1999, at 22:21:01
> Thursday, October 7 is National Depression
Screening Day. It is an attempt to get the word
out that depression is treatable. Lots of places
to get free, confidential screening, info and
referrals. Let people know. (BTW it is always
the first Thursday in October, I think)Am I just easily irritated. or is anyone else
bugged by this annual pharmaceutical company
promotion? As someone who`s very well aware
they`re depressed and has unsuccessfully tried
practically every antidepressant there is, it`s
hard to feel too much sympathy for someone who
doesn`t even know they`re depressed until they
take a screening test!
