Here are some online resources have been really useful –

Douglas Bloch – he is a mental health expert who has actually suffered from depression. I really like the way he talks about various aspects of coping. Malan Darass’s blog about depression : http://www.malandarras.com/depression-1

I do realize that everyone’s depression is indeed different and we all need different kinds of help. However, it really helps to know we are not alone in this and its simply a mental illness. A few weeks back, i finally saw a psychiatrist and it was a relief to hear that indeed a part of it wasnt in my control but it is manageable. I often felt so invalidated by the words of well-meaning friends and family – i felt like they were trying to tell me that it wasnt real – they couldnt see it but i felt it everyday and it was real for me.
