Hi, All. I'm still finding my way around the 7 Cups site. I noticed in the Group Chat listings that there is one called Depression Chat and one called Depression Support. Can anyone tell me the difference between the two? Thanks!

@friendlyChestnut4964 An easy way to think of it, is the "chat" one is for casual conversation, more like just a way to connect with people and talk for fun. And "support" is for getting support for things, more serious talking rather than just chit-chat. Discussions are also held in the "support" one (where one or two people lead a discussion on a specific topic, with questions and info)

"Chat"=for chatting and making friends within the depression community
"Support"=for support/help with topics related to depression

Depression Chat was created because there were regulars that were in the Support room(s) having their own casual conversations and people looking for support were overlooked.
