Question ID: 757183
I recently read about a novel, non-conventional (and non-medication)
treatment for depression.  It is not well known and I believe very few
people have tried it.  I am trying to gain access to people who may
have tried this treatment to find out what results they had.  Or, if I
cannot find people who tried the treatment (which I suspect will be
the case) I would like to be able to let
people know about the treatment so they can try it and then hopefully
provide feedback as to how well it worked.

The obvious place for me to get the information I am looking for is in
online depression forums and, in fact, I have posted in several of
them.  The problem is that I received few answers, mainly, I believe,
because the forums I posted in are either used mostly as a place for
people to express their emotional issues and problems or because the
forums do not have a wide-enough audience of regular participants.

There are many depression forums out there but most don?t seem like
they would be effective for my purposes.  I am looking for a forum
where a wide-enough audience of depressed (but otherwise mentally
stable and straight-thinking) participants could provide the
information I?m looking for.  Can you suggest five to ten discussion
forums or websites where my postings would be most productive and
where I would have the best chance of receiving helpful answers?

(My postings on these forums will not involve solicitation, as the
treatment is something that the person does on their own without
purchasing anything or making any payments.)

What is this treatment? It's possible we could find information about
it, and/or people that have tried this approach to treating
depression.

I'm looking for more for you, but in the meantime, how do these look?

I took a look at the suggested forums and my guess is that I will not
get much better results there than I got at the forums I already
tried, so I'm not sure my question has an answer.  However, your work
was helpful and I would leave a tip if that is possible.  Is it?

Hello silvernitrate-ga,

Please tell us what is the treatment you're referring to in your first sentence. 

"I recently read about a novel, non-conventional (and non-medication)
treatment for depression.  It is not well known and I believe very few
people have tried it.  I am trying to gain access to people who may
have tried this treatment to find out what results they had."

We cannot find a discussion group or forum that deals with this
treatment without knowing the name of the treatment, who developed it,
where is it practiced, and at least a short description of its
processes and methods. Please tell us more so we can help you find
what you're looking for. Thanks.
