    Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC) is pleased to present this educational resource, Cannabis and You, as part of our popular public awareness educational series.

    MDSC strives to provide up to date information on subjects that affect our mental health. As recreational cannabis is now legal in Canada, there are risks and benefits that we all need to be aware of. MDSC does not take any position on cannabis, that is your individual choice to make.

    Through this book, it is our hope we can assist by providing you with easy to understand, relevant information on Cannabis so that you are better able to make an informed decision.

    This important resource could not have been developed without the incredible dedication from Dr. Barbara Everett, Ph.D. in the researching and writing of this handbook, along with the MDSC team who have contributed to this project.

    As a society, mental illness affects all Canadians. The overarching message that Mood Disorders Society of Canada wants to share is that recovery from mental illness is possible. Caring for each other is the foundation and having a support network is crucially important. Please take care of yourselves and each other.

  • Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC), is pleased to present the fourth edition of “Quick Facts on Mental Illness & Addiction in Canada”. In keeping up with the many changes that have occurred within the mental health field within the past ten years, we felt it was important that this resource is updated to reflect these changes. The incredible demand for copies of the first three editions has been phenomenal. There is now no doubt that there is a need in Canada to bring together, a comprehensive, evidence-based document containing important statistics relating to mental illnesses and addictions. The impact on individuals and their families, the healthcare system, the workplace, and the economy, in general, is extremely significant. There is also a need to develop a common understanding of the relationship between mental illnesses, addictions, and physical illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. We are certain that you will find this fourth edition useful and very informative.
  • Mood Disorders Society of Canada is pleased to present Medications and You, as part of our public educational resource series. We know that one in five Canadians will have a mental illness or issue each year. Often, the first step is a discussion with a family physician or other health professional about the challenges that you are experiencing. When you or a family member/ friend experience mental health issues, often medications are part of the recovery process. Through this book, it is our hope we can assist by providing you with easy to understand information on medications. This important resource could not have been developed without the dedication from Dr. Barbara Everett in assisting in the researching and writing of this handbook and to members of our advisory panel, with special appreciation to Dr. Alexandra Heber and Dr. Jeffrey Habert, along with all those who have contributed their time and effort to this project. Mental illness affects all Canadians. The overarching message that Mood Disorders Society of Canada wants to convey in all its work is that recovery from mental illness is possible.
