"'We're going to prescribe for you to come here to this center twice a week to meet with a group of other depressed and anxious people, not to talk about how miserable you are, but to figure out something meaningful you can all do together so you won't be lonely and you won't feel like life is pointless.'...But they started to do something even more important. They started to form a tribe. They started to form a group. They started to care about each other."
