Ever wondered how other people are dealing with their mood disorder? DepNet.ca not only offers articles on depression and related disorders but also includes a blog area where members can maintain a journal about their progress and experiences.
Besides offering support to those diagnosed with a mental health issue, this site also features articles geared towards the family and friends of those affected.
Sammy Like: I strongly suggest visiting this site if you are interested in belonging to an online diary community where you can talk openly about your experiences. I found that for many years I neglected the online journals I had, feeling that I couldn’t really write about the events of my day-to-day life. This is a community where you can feel free to blog about your “off” days and not have to worry about what anyone will think. You can also compare and ask questions about the experiences of others.
This site is user-friendly: Layman’s terms are generally used in most of the articles, and the site design is straight-forward; you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Sammy No-Like: Nothing wrong with this site; however, if you are looking for an exhaustive resource containing medical definitions and updates on recent research done in this area, you would do better to find an online medical journal. Also, there are no links to outside sites listed under “Books and Links.”
Overall, The Sam approves.
