Query date for Defeat Depression Campaign

Could you please confirm the date that the Defeat Depression Campaign
was launched, as your article conflicts with an e-mail response to another
article 'Psychiatry, stigma and resistance' from Professor A H Crisp, he
states that the Campaign was launched on 7th October 1998. However, your
article 'Lay people's attitudes to Depression...' states the date as
January 1992.

I am citing both articles in a college essay, therefore I would be
very grateful if someone could confirm this for me as soon as possible.

Many Thanks for your help

Kind Regards

Philipa Irani.
