Just the fact that you are reading this page indicates your desire to do something about your depression and I congratulate you on this.

My name is Karin Stewart and I am a social worker in private practice. My particular interest has been helping people with overcoming depression. This website is called ‘Overcoming depression’ because of the skills you can use to keep yourself out of depression.

My interest started when I had a depression breakdown in 1996 and felt that this was the very worst experience I’d been through. I want to share skills and knowledge with you that helped me as well as many others that I have shared these with. Use the information on this webpage in addition to the medical and psychological treatment you are receiving.

By all means dip into titles on this site that interest you but I would recommend starting from the beginning and working through the information. The section on Psychological Aspects, in particular, needs to be read from the beginning. Concepts in the later sections depend on an understanding of explanations given in the beginning sections.
