Information about Depression is widely available in the UK in the form of books, web sites and other forms of literature. In many cases however, the information that is supplied is technical and complicated and difficult for the ordinary person to comprehend. If you suspect that you or someone that you know may be suffering from depression, there are a number of organisations that can provide you with straightforward information on depressive disorders and their symptoms.
In the United Kingdom, the following associations may be of great assistance to those suffering from depression or looking for information on the various types of depression and their treatment:
