During the last century, depression has grown with every passing generation. When prominent public figures, like former Canadian Finance Minister Michael Wilson, come forward with their personal stories about the tragic impact depression has had on their families, the door is left open for others to raise their voices. The film follows several Canadians who have fought, often, for many years, to overcome this debilitating disease. Through their stories, we can actually see what happens in the human brain during depression, using sophisticated brain imaging technologies that map the brain before and after treatment. Canadian scientists are among the world leaders in pioneering this research, and their leading-edge tools could finally decode the mysteries of this devastating illness. <43mn 54>Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
