Seventy-eight percent (78%) of respondents were being treated for symptoms of depression at the time of the survey. Members of all adult age ranges were represented, and three out of four respondents were female."
However, the very fact that it was web-based would screen out a lot of folks. Regardless, the results look pretty convincing and certainly reflect much of what is written on this board and elsewhere.
