> JayYou're talking about the program at McMaster University, right? I've never attended it, but I wish I could! It's probably the best clinic in Canada (my opinion), and one of the places you're most likely to get treatments that are not just mainstream prescriptions and "see ya". I think you can check out the doctor's areas of research on the website. They're on the cutting edge.
One of their services is called DIRECT. From the website:
"The Depression Information Resource Education Centre (Toll—Free), also known as DIRECT, was launched in Ontario in 1996 to national acclaim. It becomes national today after a successful trial period held last year.
DIRECT operates two lines, one for physicians and one for the general public, each carrying messages on more than 70 separate topics. Callers can also contact a "live voice" for additional assistance. The public line can be reached at 1-888-557-5051, code 8000. The physician line is 1-888-557-5050, code 800."

I think you'll get a level of care unavailable anywhere else.
Happy holidays,
