According to the
World Health Organization
, depression is the leading cause of disability and the fourth leading contributor
to the global burden of disease. And it is projected to become even more significant.
Depression is thus a very common psychological problem but, thankfully, it responds
well to treatment.
In
Britain, for example, in an average year approximately 3-4% of men and 7-8% of women
experience a depressive or mixed anxiety and depressive illness. This makes it one
of the most common illnesses in any developed economy; second only to heart disease.
It is more common and costly than cancer, alcoholism or any other 'physical' illness.
Most likely you have come to this site because you or someone you care about is
feeling depressed or anxious. Blues Begone gives you a way to help yourself, or
someone else, to recover from depression.
Blues Begone is a new highly structured internet-based self help program. Its Windows
PC predecessor was evaluated in multiple tests and clinical trials in the English
National Health System (NHS). It was found to be, on average, as effective as twelve
sessions of face-to-face therapy and more effective than medication. There was no
significant difference in benefit between patients on medication and those not on
medication.

your natural state. Without having to mask your symptoms using drugs.
