Top 5 Blogs on Depression
June 13th, 2007I’ve taken some poetic license here. The blogs aren’t 100% about depression, although they don’t drift far away. And they aren’t in the Top 5 by consensus, since I am the sole judge and arbiter.
“Furious Seasons”
http://www.furiousseasons.com/
Written by a seasoned journalist, who describes his blog as “one man’s attempt to make sense of mental illness in America”. Excellent commentary on the medical approach to treating mental illness.
“A Beautiful Revolution”
http://www.abeautifulrevolution.com/blog/
You either get it, or you don’t. Well, I don’t know about me. But it is great stuff.
“Space and Time”
http://embracingmyinsanity.blogspot.com/
Small posts about everything and nothing. Personal, humorous and self-deprecating.
“The Splintered Mind”
http://thesplinteredmind.blogspot.com/
Deals with neurological disabilities - ADHD, depression and the like - using plenty of attitude and dry humor.
“The Pursuit of Happiness”
http://happinesspursuing.blogspot.com/
This blog is subtitled “one man’s battle against depression”, which is an apt description. The anonymous writer is on a lonely journey to find out what is wrong with him and which treatments to try. It’s a new blog, not self-indulgent and very moving.
What are your favorites?

I just came across this and I have to say that I am quite flattered and honored. Thank you for ranking me so highly.
I like the name of your domain/blog, btw. Finding optimism is the only treatment I found to work for my Depression. It was hard work and took years, but I trained myself to think differently and take the bite out of Depression. That and I’m a cheeky guy who was too stubborn to believe I couldn’t fight Depression off without medication.
Of course, I had little choice. Side-effects were a pain. Unleashed mutant powers, scales, extra noses…I was a mess.
Cheers,
Douglas Cootey

An excellent blog - Vicarious Therapy - thanks for the tip.
I’m unlikely to do another ‘Top 5 Depression Blogs’ soon, and definitely no award! Perhaps a Top 5 on something unusual.
