I'm thinking of trying to start a depression support group where I goto church. The problem is I don't really know what to do in the group. I know I don't want to read from the AA handbook for depression because I don't believe depression is an addiction.

This group will not be "lead" by a professional, & will be informal. Would it be a good idea to just go around the room and let people talk? Let them say what's bothering them and what's going on in their life? I think that sounds like the best idea, but I'm not sure if there is something better.
