A lot of Americans are keeping an important, possibly deadly secret: depression. Approximately 18.8 million American adults live with this devastating disease, which affects all age, race, gender and socioeconomic groups. This program, a part of the PBS health initiative, explores depression's complex terrain, and includes a 30-minute follow-up that offers expert advice on recognizing and treating depression. Stories are told by those living with depression including, among others, Andrew Solomon, award-winning journalist and author of "The Noonday Demon: An Atlas of Depression"; a mother who experienced postpartum depression; a workaholic CEO who thought his depression would end his career; a young gang member battling depression and post-traumatic stress syndrome; and a successful African-American PR executive who made the difficult choice to go public with her depression. The program also features interviews with scientists about the latest neurological research and findings.
