The European Depression Association (EDA)
is an alliance of organisations, patients, researchers and healthcare professionals from 17 countries across Europe.
Depression is already the most prevalent health problem in many EU Member States, and more than 50 million European citizens (11% of the population) experience mental disorders at some time in their lives.
EDA raises awareness and promotes better understanding of the impact of depression on people’s lives, to challenge stigma and discrimination, and to provide a voice for those who experience depression. By coming together in Europe, members of the EDA exchange research, information and best practices; co-ordinate pan-European actions, and extend the reach of their campaigns.
Each year EDA organises European Depression Day to raise awareness of depression across Europe.
The theme of this year 2010 campaign is: Depression: No Longer Alone in a Crowd .
