People liable to depression often find it helpful to talk with or meet up with others who have similar problems and offer mutual support to one another by sharing their feelings, ideas and successes.

Depression UK is a national Self Help Organisation that offers support to its several hundred members. Most suffer from depression; others may be past sufferers, or care for those who have the illness.

All members are welcome to visit our public Facebook page. This is an active community offering mutual support.

We also have a private Facebook account, available on request and by invitation to members only. This enable members to support each other and share experiences.
