| Depression ... |
Many suffer needlessly with depression when help is available. The personal
toll of depression can be devastating, effecting every aspect of one's livelihood:
family, job, finances, spiritual life and more.
You or a loved one may be experiencing a depressive illness if four or
more of the following symptoms describe you:
- Persistent sad, anxious or "empty" feelings
- Decreased energy, fatigue or feeling "slowed down"
- Loss of interest or pleasure in usual activities, including sex
- Appetite and weight change (not due to dieting)
- Feelings of hopelessness and/or pessimism about the future
- Feelings of guilt, worthlessness or helplessness
- Thoughts of death or suicide, suicide attempts
- Difficulty in concentrating, remembering and/or making decisions
- Chronic aches or persistent bodily symptoms not due to a
known physical illness
If you or a loved one are experiencing four or more of the above symptoms
for longer than two weeks, it is recommended that you seek professional
evaluation and treatment.
