Research
Depression Alliance believes that more needs to
be known about the causes, treatments, and instances
of depression in the UK. We are therefore committed
to research which either:
- Reflects and communicates
the experiences of people with depression
- Explores additional or
improved treatments for depression
- Identifies the levels of
depression amongst the general public
Much of our research involves inviting the perspectives
or experiences of our members, and is commissioned
in response to an identified need. As well as working
independently, we also frequently work in partnership
with universities and other voluntary organisations
when we believe that better results can be achieved
through the pooling of our resources and experience.
Reinforcing our belief that early intervention and
information play a vital part in enabling those
affected by depression to recover quickly and prevent
further episodes, we use the findings from our research
work to educate and inform healthcare professionals,
government, and the general public via the media,
and also to develop and improve where necessary
our own services.
