Hi, Just read through your chapter and you have made a really good start depression is such a common thing it’s great to be able to understand it a little better, the depth and detail in the Depressive Mood Disorders Classification table is really good, very insightful and easy to read. You have included psychological theories and models quite well, and I’m really looking forward to reading more  especially for the lacking support section in which you have nothing for at the moment but ,I think that’s a very important point to cover and discuss when you include it. Just a friendly tip also, I noticed you have all your in text citations, I find it easier to add to the full reference list as well while I’m adding information, if you want to try it that way I find it’s easier to keep track  --U3080857 (discuss • contribs) 10:52, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey :):)

This is a wonderful page! Seriously excited to read the finished product! I have had a quick read and only noticed one tiny thing to change but not sure of the exact wording you want to use - the image next to the title "Social Cognitive Theory: Self-efficacy" - The wording is (If an athlete has a negative of their failures and abilities they are likely to develop cognitive distress.) Just wondering if you wanted to put 'a negative view' or 'negative idea' not sure of what negative *** of their failures would be?

Hope this made sense! Looks amazing and Good luck! --Jessiek86 (discuss • contribs) 09:09, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Jessiek86, thank you for reading! It is just a draft copy and paste mock-up thus far (without final edits) so thankyou for picking up on this! - If an athlete has a **negative perspective of** their failures and abilities they are likely to develop cognitive distress. Will change. Thanks!

APA style captions for images and tables
I recommend using APA style captions i.e., Figure 1, Figure 2 etc. for all images, graphs etc. and Table 1, Table 2 etc. for all tables. The caption text should not be in italics. For more detail and examples, see http://libguides.newcastle.edu.au/content.php?pid=113807&sid=1208571 -- Jtneill - Talk - c 11:29, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Interesting Read
Hi, I thought this article might be an interesting read for you, especially for the topic you are covering: http://persweb.wabash.edu/facstaff/hortonr/articles%20for%20class/medvec%20and%20others%20medalists.pdf. It doesn't have much to do with depression but given you are focusing on athletes I thought it was an interesting finding that bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists and may relate to how the athletes appraise a given situation. It works well with your look at cognitive behavioral therapy and could be used as a good example as to how cognitive behavioral therapy might help silver medalists have a more positive view on their performance?
