Depression/Suicide
|
Many times we get in a bad place in life, and there seems to be no hope. There is hope, but it is hard to see it from a depressed state.
Nearly 20 million adults in the United States suffer depression every year.
Some may think that it only affects weak people, or that you can take care of it yourself. Nothing can be further from the truth. Depression does not discriminate and can affect anyone regardless of age, race or sex.
Depression is treatable. If you suffer from depression, know that you do not have to stay in that state. It is very common, and can be been treated. Please talk to you doctor.
Suicide is a permanent end to a temporary problem. If you are thinking about suicide, or know someone who is, PLEASE ask for help now. There is nothing bad enough to warrant taking ones own life. Call a hotline, 911, or a doctor right away. There are professionals who can help.
