Out of Darkness       

About This Site

In recent years, recovery from the depression that has gripped me has become a central focus of my life. For decades I lived without knowing that I was hiding from a silent enemy that would one day take control of me. Since being diagnosed with depression, I have devoted much attention to reading about this illness. Because what I have learned may be helpful to others, I want to share it with you here. I hope that this information will help lead you to greater awareness of this disease and its treatment, and that this knowledge will bring you peace.
