Did you know there are at least five types of depression? Come to this meeting to find out how to recognize depression in your spouse, learn about new treatment approaches, learn what you can do at home, and how to be supportive in healthy ways. Phil Steude M.D., with over 40 years as a board certified psychiatrist, will speak briefly on the subjects and then interact with you about specific concerns or questions you may have concerning depression in yourself or your loved one. Doctor Steude has practiced in the Columbia area, being well-versed in traditional psychiatry, medication management, and a leader in transcranial magnetic stimulation. He has been interested in how medicines work, not just what seems to work and in his practice enjoyed psychotherapy, including a focus on how depression can affect one's faith.  Currently retired, he has a strong interest in his grandchildren and in gardening.

Columbia Parkinson’s Support Group – Meeting June 21, 2026 Our support group historically does not meet in June, as the 3rd Sunday is Father’s Day. However, this year, our president, Karen Basso, has offered to be at our usual meeting location (Lexington Medical Park I Auditorium, 2728 Sunset Blvd., West Columbia, SC 29169) at 3 PM for anyone who might like to come and just talk with one another. This will not be structured, like our Open Forum meetings, it will simply be an opportunity for anyone who wishes to get together and talk about anything related to Parkinson’s Disease. As a reminder, our meetings are open to anyone with an interest in Parkinson’s Disease, and are always free to attend.
