Goodbye for Now, My Friends
I've enjoyed writing this Write Out of Depression blog for the last three years. It introduced me to many of you fascinating readers. It saw me through the writing and publishing of my book, Writing through the Darkness: Easing Your Depression with Paper and Pen, in June, 2008. And I hope it has provided some information, encouragement and intriguing writing ideas.
Now, however, it's time for me to move on to other things. I am working on a new book! I'll also continue to speak at conferences on mental illness and on writing, and to lead my writing group for people with mood disorders at Stanford.
Please go to my website www.WritingThroughTheDarkness.com to learn about me, my book, and my schedule. You can also email me at: EMSchaefer@aol.com. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for reading and for your comments and contributions. Goodbye for now.

About Me
- Elizabeth Maynard Schaefer, Ph.D.
- My book, WRITING THROUGH THE DARKNESS: EASING YOUR DEPRESSION WITH PAPER AND PEN, was published by Celestial Arts in June 2008. I've been a science journalist, textbook editor and author, poet, memoirist, creative writing instructor and -- sometimes -- a bipolar depressed person, since earning my Ph.D. in biology at Stanford University in 1991. For the past ten years, I've combined my interests in writing and mental health by teaching creative writing to other people with mood disorders in a class meeting at Stanford's Psychiatry Department. I speak on mental health topics, both personal and professional, to a wide variety of groups.

אחרי ככלות הכל. דיכאון יכול בהחלט לפגוע באיכות החיים של כל אחד ומאוד נחמד שאנשים לא רק יפנו אל פסיכיאטר אלא גם יעשו פעולות שמרפאות, באופן עצמאי- כלומר, יכולים לעשות פעולות שמגדילות את הערך העצמי, יגדילו את תחושת העצמי והעצמאות.

Thanks for this post and your blog. Depression is a serious illness that affects adolescents just like it does adults. I’ve found Silver Hill Hospital’s website to be a useful source of information about treatments for Adolescent depression.
Thanks, Kara. It's a good idea to remind people of depression's effects on adolescents. I've observed that too often younger people are given less support than older adults. Good, good luck to you! Thanks too for the good link.
