Gay Blues

Are you at risk?

Depression is more common than many people are aware, and homosexuals are often at a higher risk than the rest of the population of suffering from this debilitating and sometimes life-threatening condition. Major depression is said to be the second-leading cause of premature death - accounting for between twenty and thirty-five percent of all suicides every year - and the leading cause of disability worldwide. Statistics show that more than 120 million people are affected, and depression is responsible for a staggering 850,000 deaths every year.

There is hope

Signs and symptoms of depression are the same regardless of sexual orientation, but the underlying causes of depression are often different for homosexual men, women and children. In this book, three courageous homosexuals talk in candid detail about their experiences with depression, and how they have learned to manage it. Each story is revealing and inspirational, and clearly shows that improving one's mental state is absolutely possible.
