Review: Beyond Blue – The National Depression Initiative

http://www.beyondblue.org.au/index.aspx?

Depression sites can be helpful for people who need support and guidance. A lot of web resources look like placed advertisements for depression medication or exclusive clubs but at http://www.beyondblue.org.au/ we noticed something different. The website has lots of basic and advanced level information about depression, Bipolar and anxiety disorders. You can also check out heartfelt stories of people who have faced depression. For victims of this strange disorder, such encouragement and this feeling of identification, of knowing that they are not alone, is very important.
Dealing with these mental disorders can be easy if you have the right help and support. But finding support from people around you can be difficult – especially because usually it is impossible to make someone understand what you are going through when the other person has never experienced it themselves. http://www.beyondblue.org.au/ offers advice and additional information on what you should do to help yourself out of your misery and how to deal with other people in troubled times. There is a lot of current research also available on the website.
The site also offers resources for people who wish to get involved with this initiative and who wish to render their services somehow. You can volunteer or donate or even help with fundraising. The easiest way to contribute perhaps is to share your experience and your stories with the website. If you are relatively new to depression or you haven’t been diagnosed with any disorder yet, you can use the http://www.beyondblue.org.au/ symptom checker to get an idea of what could be affecting you and whether you need help.
http://www.beyondblue.org.au/ is a portal suitable for health professionals as well as seekers of depression and mental disorder support. Beyond Blue is a non-profit organization working independently to increase depression awareness and to create opportunities for people with similar disorders. They also offer Clinical Practice Guidelines, Rural health information, Opportunities for older people, FREE accredited online training for health professionals and a national reference group. We found this website incredibly useful for people suffering from mental illnesses as well as for healthcare professionals and researchers.
