Reality Check Film Series: Depression at The Park Theatre

December 12, 2022: Depression

The National Institute of Mental Health reports that approximately 18.8 million American adults
have a depressive disorder. The disease is not discriminating, seeping into all age, race, gender,
and socioeconomic groups. Depression stalls careers, strains relationships, and sometimes ends
lives. So if this many people are living with the disease, why the silence? DEPRESSION: Out of
the Shadows is a multi-dimensional PBS project that explores the disease's complex terrain,
offering a comprehensive and timely examination of this devastating disorder.
