DEPRESSION: OUT OF THE SHADOWS

KQED Analog TV9: 5/21 9:30pm, 5/24 3am (1:56:46)

Depression is a public health crisis that rivals all other diseases in its burden on society, yet the condition is remarkably under-diagnosed and under-treated. By weaving together the history, science and treatment of depression with intimate portrayals of families and individuals coping with its wide-ranging effects, this documentary will provide a comprehensive portrait of depression never before presented on American television. The 30-minute discussion moderated by Jane Pauley, immediately following the documentary, will bring together a panel of experts and community activists to discuss the issue further.

 

 

 

 

This show wasn't on in my area until recently.  It was really well done.  I'm sure it will be re-aired from time to time.
