It's estimated that 1 in 5 Americans suffer from mood and anxiety disorders, yet for many people discussing these conditions is still taboo. Dr Patrick McGill and I discuss the persistent stigma associated with depression and anxiety, medications and other treatment options, as well as how important it is for those that are suffering from these destructive conditions to open up and get help. If you are struggling please don't suffer in silence. Talk to your doctor, a parent, a sibling, a friend or family member. I can tell you from personal experience it HELPS!

Over 80% of treament for mood and anxiety disorders is done solely in primary care. Your GP/Family Physician is qualified to help you!

If you are a medical professional I can't stress enough the need to have real conversations with your patients. Don't stare at their info on the computer while you ask the "standard questions". Look them in the eye and get a true feel for their emotional and physical state. Our lives are truly in your hands....
