This conference program titled "Before Depression: The Representation and Culture of Depression in Britain and Europe, 1660-1800," caught my attention today--the conference itself is just part of a three-year project that also includes an ongoing lecture series, planned publications and an exhibit this summer of visual representations of depression in the 18th century. Too bad for me it's all happening at the University of Northumbria and the University of Sutherland--but good for any of you who happen to be in that neighborhood. If you attend any component of this project, I'd love to hear more about it.

iibbuylwGlad to see you've picked this up. I'm the Director of this project, which is supported by the Leverhulme Trust. We'd be delighted if any readers in the region could make the conference, or parts of it, but for those of you further afield you might be interested in the podcasts we have on the website. There are nine of these so far, and they're the public lectures we've been holding at Northumbria and Sunderland on various aspects of depression in the eighteenth century. All downloads are free - just follow the links. The art exhibition is packed with names, including Durer, Hogarth, Blake and Goya. It's at the Shipley Gallery, Gateshead from mid June until the end of August. Admissions is free, so do drop by if you're around.

i need to ask you this, i have been in depression and i consulted a doctor, he gave him 60 valium and 30 clonazepam with 6 months of refills. i have a history of drug abuse, somehow I don’t trust this doctor at all, that seems WAY excessive for one visit. i don’t even have attacks. i just have “anxiety & depression”. I counted the pills he gave me, the clonazepam was picked up on tuesday and is already gone. The valium had 12 missing after the first 12 hours. Do I call the pharmacy and tell them to REALLY watch for early fills? ( i have no insurance). Do I call the doctor and tell him to get his shit together? Im so lost and scared. Don’t know where I can go or who I can talk to.
my questions remains as glynis is a director of this program, are we going to discuss doctors when they suggest such medicines? do i have an organization/programs BACKING and support if i want to confront doctors who give such medication?

I'm sorry John, I don't have any ideas for you. The conference is about depression before 1800--it's historical and literary, not at all about present-day practice.
It has almost been proved that women are much more vulnerable to depression as compared to men. To put it in figures one in five women is hit by depression which is double the figure in men. Though the real and exact reason behind this sort of uncanny phenomenon still eludes human intelligence, there are an ample lot of depression medications that have successfully thumped depression, as for example the antidepressants like xanax valium .
The word "shanzhai" is very popular in China. It is industry phenomenon of imitation, high quality and low price. Moreover, cell phones are the representative of them.The global financial crisis led to a significant shrinkage of assets for people. "china wholesale" demonstrate the might. most of them would like buy the cheap cell phones now .
Through google search engine, when you put in "discount cell phones", you will find more than 15,000 pieces of related information. Cell phone china has been concerned in the world. Many international sellers can get a considerable profit by ways of wholesale cell phones from China and switch selling. So it is a very good job on cell phones wholesale in the current financial crisis.
I appreciate the words and ideas you refer to in the article very much. Agree with you.
