We haven't seen the film, but would like to. How does one go about getting a copy? Both in his book and on the website, Dick has a lot to say about poverty and other outside situations that contribute to depression. Check us out at http://www.undoingdepression.com if you haven't already found it.

> Niborthanks, i appreciate the reference. here's what the film site says at www.depressionculture.com, where there's a link to ordering info:
There is a tendency afoot today to blame the epidemic sweep of depression in the US on bad genes or screwy brain chemistry. But what if the causes do not emanate from the individual? This artful documentary brings six people together for three days of emotional, and at times heated, discussion about the sources of their despair.
Intermixed are hard-to-find facts which challenge the psychiatric industry's claims that depression is a biological disorder. Fundamentally about empowerment and the resilience of the human spirit, this surprisingly inspirational film will change the way you think about "normal."

Thanks, Jules
The film looks like it would be worth seeing. Dick and I believe that our culture foster depression in many ways. There but for fortune....and all that. I have initiated contact with the filmmaker.
I hope you like our website. We are always open to suggestions.
