I am so happy to see that this type of forum is being put together. Unfortunately, even in our current times, there is all to often still a stigma associated with depression, which I believe keeps people from educating themselves, about even the most basic aspects of this enormously prevalent, mental illness. Thus, there are even fewer people that feel comfortable in engaging in discussion groups, for fear of being stigmatized themselves.
I believe, the more credible resources, such as WebMD, that report on, and educate people, along with providing forums for discussions, and for people to get their questions, and concerns about depression addressed, the more likely our society will continue to realize the severity of the issue. Additionally, and most importantly, people will come to realize the reality of the fact,that depression is not something that "is just in your head", and that it is not something that should provoke a sense of shame, anymore than someone with a physical illness, such as diabetes, should feel a sense of shame, about their diagnosis.
Thank you, WebMD!
