Dear Colleagues,
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, more
than 17 million Americans develop depression each year. Recent
research indicates the number may be closer to 20 million. Less
than half of the people suffering from depression actually
receive treatment. National Depression Screening Day is scheduled for October 5, 2000.
