Mormonism and depression: literature

This is kind of a cop-out post because I don't have time to write much lately, but maybe this will help some people. What follows is a short-list of what resources I have pulled together on Mormonism and depression. Doubtless, there is more out there, and I have concentrated more on scholarly, peer-reviewed literature. If you have anything to add to the bibliography, please let me know. Also, if you would like a copy of anything, let me know at fromtheashesblog@gmail.com. For the items that are available online, I have provided links. (A hearty thanks to those of you who helped me find some of these in the first place.)

I will thoroughly read each of these and write some notes on them when I have more time.

Gray literature (not peer-reviewed)

Ponder, Kent. Mormon Women, Prozac, and Therapy

LDS Use of Antidepressants. entry on FAIR's Wiki.

Express Scripts Prescription Drug Atlas. Executive Summary. (This report is, as far as I can tell, The Source for the idea that Utah has the highest anti-depressant rate. I'll write a post about it.)
