I just learned from Walking the Black Dog that October is National Depression Awareness Month and that October 4 is Depression Screening Day. The article on Walking the Black Dog provides some signs of depression to watch for in yourself or loved ones, and has links to informative sites and online screening tests.
If you (or anyone one you know) think you may be depressed, please see your doctor right away. Do not wait for it to go away. Do not try to tough it out or pretend it’s not a problem. Be honest with yourself and your family and do yourself the honor of taking care of yourself – you deserve it.
Thanks. I really admire how you care for people.
Thank you, Haley!
