Differences

Unlike other non profit organizations, Families for Depression Awareness:

• Focuses on family members and friends of those who are depressed, caregivers that usually operate with little or no guidance or support.
• Deals only with depressive disorders, the most prevalent mental illnesses and leading causes of suicide.
• Promotes depression awareness through organized communications programs, run by experienced marketing, business, and medical experts who have been touched by depression in their family or profession.
