  March 3, 2000 - Alberta's plans to rebuild its psychiatric hospitals is a "regressive step to a dark ages solution" said the Canadian Mental Health Association's National President Bill Gaudette following a unanimous resolution by the Association's National Board of Directors in Toronto.
  
  According to Mr. Gaudette,"other provinces are working at mental health reform by building "community capacity" with homes, jobs, outreach, crisis service and in-patient care at the local level. In contrast, Alberta will spend more than $150 million dollars reconstructing psychiatric hospitals built in 1911 at Ponoka (Health Minister Jonson's constituency) and in 1923 at Oliver north of Edmonton."
  
  "The Alberta government's own reports spanning more than 70 years have called for the downsizing of institutions and the development of community support services," said Mr. Gaudette.

  Bill Gaudette, president of the Canadian Mental Health Association, has the same concern, that policy-makers think there is a magic bullet out there to cure depression when the reality is much more complex.
  
  "Treating depression with drugs is great but it's only part of the solution, a quick fix," he said."In mental health, you have to deal with the whole person, and you have to do it over time.A quick fix isn't going to work."
  
  Mr. Gaudette said people suffering from depression endure stigma and a host of related difficulties that flow from their illness, such as lack of employment, unstable housing situations, poverty and relationship problems, and treatment needs to address all these issues, not just brain chemistry.
  
  "People with mental illness like depression need access to health care, supportive housing, job support, protection from discrimination -- all the things most Canadians take for granted."
  
  Mr. Gaudette said governments and the public must also recognize how commonplace depression has become, and the enormous toll it is taking on society.
  
  It is estimated that one in four women and one in eight men will suffer from a clinical depression at some point in their lives.

  I think its a serious issue that we as a society and we as the business community are ignoring at our peril, says Bill Gaudette, director of community affairs for the Canadian Mental Health Associations Calgary region.
  ...
  We know historically that one in five Canadians will suffer a mental illness in their lifetime, says Gaudette.
  ...
  The stigma around mental illness is hard to shake, says Gaudette. For men, especially at senior management levels, admitting that you have a mental health problem is the kiss of death.
  
  Even if a person receives treatment, he or she is forever considered fragile and unreliable. Research shows that these people have a difficult time returning to work, where past achievements are often dismissed and whispers abound as to when and if they will break down again.
  
  Gaudette explains that there is a distinction to be made between stress and depression.
