I know what you mean, Pager.  I have a daughter who has battled on and off with depression for years.  She now has two children, the youngest just over a year old and postnatal depression has bitten hard...  And we are pretty much the only real support she has - not an easy road by any means.

Being fortunate enough not to have had this debilitating illness (apart from the normal ups and downs of life), I never realised just how bad it could be until it came so close to home.  I certainly applaud those who have come through such a difficult time and empathise with those who are currently going through it. 

I do thank those who have shared their experiences which gives hope that there maybe a light at the end of this long, uncertain tunnel.
