Clinical Depression: Hope Through New Treatments
Premieres on The Health Network August 27
Boca Raton, FL -- What separates Clinical Depression from just ³having a case of the blues?² What causes it? Does our fast-paced lifestyle play a role?
Clinical depression is a common and serious illness that affects about 19 million Americans each year - but only about a third of these seek treatment.
While 80% of all depression sufferers could be successfully treated if they would just see an appropriate physician or mental health professional, unfortunately any type of mental illness is still tainted by a societal stigma. New treatments today encompass a multitude of combined therapies -- from psychotherapy to medications to a new type of brain stimulating therapy.
CLINICAL DEPRESSION: Hope Through New Treatments details signs, symptoms and directions for dealing with this devastating illness. This informative, 30-minute TV special premieres on The Health Network on Monday, August 27 at 10:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. ET, and on Saturday, September 1 at 6:30 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. ET, and will repeat several additional times this year.
CLINICAL DEPRESSION: Hope Through New Treatments is co-hosted by Michael Thase, M.D., Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, and includes special guest appearances by Ellen
Frank, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, University of Pittsburgh and Edward S. Friedman, M.D., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry.
