The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) has launched a nationwide television, print and Internet campaign www.nimh.nih.gov) called "Real Men. Real Depression," designed to dispel the myth that mood disorders are a sign of psychic weakness. Investigators at the NIMH and elsewhere are digging into the hormonal and genetic roots of depression, while doctors are trying to get word out that there are treatments--both psychological and pharmacological--that really work.
