Personal experiences of depression and recovery; an Internet resource for the public and policy makers

抑郁症给澳大利亚社会带来的经济、健康、社会和个人成本无疑是一个重要的公共卫生问题。由于缺乏全面可靠的证据来证明抑郁症的潜在因素，更重要的是抑郁症的恢复，政策和公共领域的辩论都受到了阻碍。从这个项目中收集的数据将建立一个证据基础和平台，将关于抑郁症和康复的外行观点整合到现有的抑郁症话语中，并将其整合到基于网络的资源中，为寻找抑郁症信息、治疗方法和康复途径的人们提供信息。

The economic, health, a social and personal cost to the Australian community of depression constitutes a public health concern of undoubted significance. Debates in both policy and public arenas are hampered by a lack of comprehensive reliable evidence about factors underlying depression and more importantly recovery from depression. The data gathered from this project will establish an evidence base and a platform for incorporating lay perspectives on depression and recovery into the currently existing discourses on depression into web based resources providing information to people searching information about depression, its treatments and recovery pathways.
