New PBS Documentary Highlights APA Members in Fight Against Depression
A new documentary, "DEPRESSION: Out of the Shadows" premiers nationwide Wednesday, May 21, at 9pm ET on the PBS television network (check your local listings). The film, producers say, "navigates the disease's complex terrain, highlighting the latest scientific research and innovative treatments."
The disorder is explored through interviews with families and individuals coping with its wide-ranging effects. The documentary then builds context through interviews with APA member experts, including Richard Friedman, M.D., Helen Kim, M.D., William McDonald, M.D., Charles Nemeroff, M.D., and Myrna Weissman, Ph.D.
Following the documentary, Jane Pauley hosts a panel discussion that will include Ken Duckworth, M.D., Dennis Charney, M.D. and Annelle Primm, M.D., director of APA's Office of Minority and National Affairs.
