| NAADAD is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing information about recovery from Drugs, Alcohol, Depression and Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
There were a lot of professional people who were instrumental in development of the video "Good News About Sad Views" and the free info in this site. (The video was used for the basis of this site) Without Susan Wright Ph. D. and Dr. Eric Rauch S.T.M. this site would not have been possible. Also special thanks to Betsie Saltzberg M.Ed., Mira Walter Donenwirth Ph. D. for their input and review of material. A special thanks also goes out to Karen J. Brocco, M.D. Psychiatrist/Metro Health Medical Center for her review of the final video tape. Also thank you to all the anonymous people suffering from Depression and or BPD who participated in the research needed for this project.
A WORD FROM OUR PRESIDENT.
I, like a lot of other people, have had bouts with Depression. When I finally realized what I was suffering from, I sought help. Help didn't come easily for me. The first Psychologist I saw needed more help than I did. After three sessions I was ready to ask him if he wanted to lay on the coach. I sought out group meetings and became even more depressed. Don't get me wrong, I think a self help group can be A very good thing. I had just picked some that were not good for me. No one there had similar problems with depression or didn't have any answers that worked for me. Believe me I was looking for quick answers, not years of a multi-step program (sorry, that's not me).
