Men and depression : helping him, helping you / [Theresa Francis-Cheung, Robin Grey].

<p>A film about recognising and treating people with depression looking at patients and clinical recognition, treatment and effectiveness. To start, three patients speak to camera about their low mood. In a hospital situation, a male patient who has been admitted has mysterious symptoms with a history of multiple admissions, he is discussed by an experienced physician and junior colleagues. This appears to be dramatised; he identifies depression as the cause. In the United Kingdom, at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Dr C. M. Pare also visits a patient and listens to how a patient describes her moods. He underlies how physical symtoms often manifest prior to obvious indicators of a deterioration in mental health (sleep etc). J. F . Silverstone from St Bartholomew's also contributes to the discussion. A comparison between how depression manifests itself in young and older people is made. A number of other experienced clinicians from the United Kingdom also share their experiences (the film visits them in their institutions). How anti-depression drugs work is discussed in the form of a lecture to practitioners; there is an issue with dosage and effectiveness. A clinician from Denmark (name hard to read on the film) explains how lithium is effective and has a role in treating mania. Their interaction and treating anxiety, depression and insomnia is discussed.</p>

<p>"Depression: The way out of your prison gives us a way of understanding our depression which matches our experience and which enables us to take charge of our life and change it. Dorothy Rowe shows us that depression is not an illness or a mental disorder but a defence against pain and fear which we can use whenever we suffer a disaster and discover that our life is not what we thought it was."--Jacket.</p>
