What depression is, why it is on the rise and how we can help.

Mark Tyrell is an experienced therapist, trainer and speaker who regularly writes on psychology with a difference.

He is the co-founder of Uncommon Knowledge, a solution-focused therapy training company which provides online training in therapy and counselling skills worldwide. Mark writes a therapy training blog with his thoughts on psychotherapy at www.unk.com/blog

The specific problems of dealing with depression led Mark to develop a depression recovery program, a free website about depression, and an online training course for therapists on how to lift depression fast. He’s also behind another free self help guide website for panic attacks and helped to set up Uncommon Forum, now a leading mental health discussion forum.

Before he started all this, Mark worked in a psychiatric hospital. So he’s seen it all.
