Depression affects over 17 million Americans each year, and
it’s been estimated that only one-third of this group gets any treatment, largely
because of stigma and fear. The lack of treatment results in a high number of suicides,
making this illness as fatal as any other illness and a public epidemic. This program from
The Doctor Is In explains the disease through the experiences of several people, including
60 Minutes host Mike Wallace; Kay Redfield Jamison, psychiatrist and author of a book on
her life with manic-depressive illness; artist Lama Dejani; and State Department official
Robert Boorstin. The program also provides an overview of medications and therapy being
used. A Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center production. (28 minutes, color)
