Television programs to explore how individuals cope with depression
The Washington Post (5/18, Y3) reported that filmmaker Larkin McPhee's "new documentary, Depression: Out of the Shadows, tracks a diverse group of people coping with the disease."
In the documentary, McPhee "shows viewers the personal stories of depression sufferers, including a teenager, a new mother, a gang member, and an author." After the broadcast, which is set to air on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. on KCET-TV, journalist Jane Pauley, who herself "was diagnosed in 2001 with bipolar disorder," will anchor "a panel of mental health experts for a 30-minute discussion of the film." In addition, another broadcast, entitled Men Get Depression, will examine "the illness and its impact on men, their families, and careers."
It will air this Wednesday in the Washington, D.C. area "at 8 p.m. on PBS 32, and 11 p.m. on PBS 22."
