The Depression Is Real Coalition is a group of seven nonprofit organizations, including DBSA, that represent physician, patient and constituency groups.  These groups have come together to run an educational campaign about depression including community events and a campaign designed for television, radio, and print.

These groups are concerned about confusing messages in the popular culture suggesting that depression is "just the blues", or worse, a "made-up" disease.  The goal of the Depression Is Real Coalition is to help people suffering from depression, their families, friends, and the general public understand these essential facts about depression.  Science and medical research have proven that talk therapy and medicines are effective in helping people recover from depression. 

So, while Depression Is Real, hope is real, too.
