Did You Know?

October is National Depression Education and Awareness Month

Depression is a widespread mental health condition that affects millions of Americans and people around the world each year. Oftentimes depression goes unnoticed and//or untreated, which only leads to worsening symptoms. Many events can lead to depression, events that people face every day, so if you or a loved one are suffering from depression it's important to know that you’re not alone and help is available.

Sometimes someone with depression may feel like they cannot talk about what they are feeling because there is a stigma associated with depression and treatment of depression. This is precisely why it is so important to have a health awareness for depression, to have open discussion on this mental health condition and learn about symptoms, what life events can cause depression, and what some treatment methods are.
