The movie HELEN

No it's not Helen of Troy.  It's a movie just simple called "Helen" and Ashley Judd and supporting cast
are just terrific in their acting.

I happened to come across it while browsing through Blockbuster last evening.  It is an Alliance Film - 2008.

It's the story about the horrible sickness of suicide depression. Helen suffers from a deep debilitating depression. Although her family tries to help her, no one can relate to her pain other than a young female student who knows depression all too well. Helen is a film about a woman fighting to save her life and her family; a story about courage, devotion, and the triumph of the heart over the mind.

It is NOT for children, it is too disturbing for children - so adults ONLY!

It certainly shows you the horror that this sickness can be, and the nightmare for those who have to contend with it; yet it also shows you there are medical helps that can bring some people with this sickness back to a normal life. So though a heavy dramatic sorrowful type movie, it gives hope for some.

Certainly a good educational movie dealing with this sad sickness.
