Depression: Out of the Shawdows

Depression is a public health crisis that rivals all other diseases in its burden on society, yet the condition is remarkably under-diagnosed and under-treated. By weaving together the history, science and treatment of depression with intimate portrayals of families and individuals coping with its wide-ranging effects, this documentary provides a comprehensive portrait of depression never before presented on American television. A 30-minute discussion moderated by Jane Pauley after the documentary brings together a panel of experts and community activities.
