Seasonal Affective Disorder
Autumn is well and truly here and for people affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), a condition that makes you feel low in the winter, this can be a difficult time of year. Visit our page on SAD for more information and a list of organisations providing light therapy.

Look OK... Feel Crap? New Website from DAS
Our new website www.lookokfeelcrap.org was launched for Scottish National Depression Week 2008. The new site is aimed at young adults who may not use traditional services such as the phone line or self-help support groups and to move towards an online service that encourages and supports people across Scotland.
