Depression Website Addresses the Issues Positively

The NZ Ministry of Health provide a very helpful and informative website addressing the issues of depression. A sub-tile for the website is, "understanding more about depression will help you find a way through."

Ex-All Black, John Kirwan features on the home page and his 'self test' is there for users.

Top level pages on the site are:
- is this depression?
- what can cause it?
- finding a way through
- stay well
- helping others

The home page is accessible here: http://www.depression.org.nz/content/home 

A depression helpline 0800 111 757 is available for users.

A particularly helpful part of the website is its comprehensive Depression Resources offered in addition to the excellent website content itself. These consist of: fact sheets |  booklets | online resources.
