    This reminds me of a thread I started in Long Term Abstainers ... hmm ???

    - Are you currently experiencing problems with stress, depression or anxiety?
    - Do you live in the United Kingdom?
    - Are you over 18 years of age?
    - Would you be interested in joining an online support group?


    Researchers at University College London are carrying out research into whether online support groups are beneficial. If you have been experiencing stress, depression or anxiety and would be interested in taking part in an online support group, then read on...

    Online support groups

    Online support groups are internet discussion forums where people share problems and provide each other with support. Mental health professionals are not normally directly involved and discussions are usually anonymous.

    In recent years the number of online support groups for conditions like depression and anxiety has grown rapidly. They are thought to be in use by millions of people around the world.

    Research into face-to-face groups has found they can be effective for some psychological problems. But studies into online groups are few, although some do show positive benefits. This study is interested in adding to this research and looking at what happens in these groups.
