Depression Can Happen to Anyone
Excerpt: ”More people in our lives and community have mental health problems than people realize. The challenge is knowing that our physical health is only one facet of our health and that mental health plays a key role in our well-being. There are many different types of mental health problems, but one of the most common is depression.
Depression can sneak up on some or be full-blown for others, but either mild or severe- there are options to help people overall.
Depression can be diagnosed by many symptoms, but the symptoms have to occur for at least two weeks. Depending on the circumstances, someone’s depression can be triggered by a life event and may be more temporary than long-term. Either way, depression should not be ignored, and patients should be encouraged to seek help to feel better and manage their symptoms.”
