Can you suggest some interesting discussion forums?

Depression Forums

• I recently read about a novel, non-conventional (and non-medication) treatment for depression. It is not well known and I believe very few people have tried it. I am trying to gain access to people who may have tried this treatment to find out what results they had. Or, if I cannot find people who tried the treatment (which I suspect will be the case) I would like to be able to let people know about the treatment so they can try it and then hopefully provide feedback as to how well it worked. The obvious place for me to get the information I am looking for is in online depression forums and, in fact, I have posted in several of them. The problem is that I received few answers, mainly, I believe, because the forums I posted in are either used mostly as a place for people to express their emotional issues and problems or because the forums do not have a wide-enough audience of regular participants. There are many depression forums out there but most don?t seem like they would be effective for my purposes. I am looking for a forum where a wide-enough audience of depressed (but otherwise mentally stable and straight-thinking) participants could provide the information I?m looking for. Can you suggest five to ten discussion forums or websites where my postings would be most productive and where I would have the best chance of receiving helpful answers? (My postings on these forums will not involve solicitation, as the treatment is something that the person does on their own without purchasing anything or making any payments.)
