More recently, seven nonprofit organizations (representing health care professionals and individuals with mental disorders) have developed the coalition Depression is Real (2007) and plan to eliminate stigma toward mental disorders. In September 2006, the Depression is Real Campaign was launched with the mission of clarifying misconceptions about depression. The Depression is Real Campaign utilizes public service announcements
(radio, television, and print) to educate the public about depression and offer hope to those with depression. The campaign web site (DepressionIsReal.org) provides information about depression screening, treatment, and signs and symptoms of depression. Information about depression throughout the life span, depression in minorities, mental health disparity, how to find social support, and how to locate mental health professionals is also available on the web site.
