Good Morning Luckycat, The Depression Center offers personalized, interactive tools that have helped thousands of people challenge and overcome their depression. If you look to the left of the screen under "PROGRAM TOOLS" you'll find our Depression Test, Session Diary, CBT Buddies and our Depression Program. Why a Depression Test? The purpose of our Depression Test is to prepare you with information that you can present to your physician. When you're finished the test, you can either print your Final Report or email it directly to your doctor. What is a Session Diary? Your Session Diary is your Depression Program "Control Center." Your Session Diary contains all of your tools, worksheets and results as you move through each of the 16 Sessions in the Depression Program. Online Support? CBT Buddies? Our CBT Buddies and Online Support Group allows you to have some anonymous assistance when dealing with depression. The CBT Buddie and Online Support Group is offered on a 24-hour basis and allows you to communicate with others like you around the world. CBT? The core of The Depression Center is our Depression Program which is an interactive, 16-session cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)course. When using cognitive behavioral therapy, each person has unique goals in their treatment. Whatever your motivation, cognitive behavioral therapy is a very effective treatment for depression. You can use the tools whether or not you are taking medication, and whether or not you are currently seeing a therapist or mental health professional. The Depression Program has a number of tools and resources to help each individual overcome their depression and win. We hope you find the help you need within The Depression Center. If you ever have any questions or concerns regarding our site or with depression please click the "CONTACT US" link at the bottom of the page. We're open to any questions or concerns you may have.

Hi all! I am new to this site. I am diagnosed with major depression and anxiety. Have tried several antidepressants without relief. Have been seeing a psychiatrist for 15 months, I was hospitalized in month 4 of therapy. I take my medications, keep my appointments, have started an exercise program, etc. all it seems for nothing. I feel very depressed. I already keep a journal, started doing that a coupld of months back. Rereading my last couple of entries I realised they were, well, "wrapping up the loose ends of things" I guess you might say. Not what would happen if, but what I want to happen when. I'm looking for some relief anywhere at this point. I'm afraid to show my doctor my last couple of entries as I think he would hospitalize me or call my husband again, neither of which are alternatives that appeal to me. I won't bore you all with more details. You all know how it feels. If nothing else thanks for reading this entry. Luckycat.
