As we approach the
holiday season one is reminded that it is not happiness, joy, family, friends,
fun, music and celebration for everyone.
Depression is prevalent in many people’s life. The story heard from many people is I’m
lonely, broke and sad. I hate everything
about the holidays, commercials, music, and families.
What is depression? It is a feeling of being sad, empty, anxious,
hopeless, and worthless. One may
experience decreased energy, sleep disturbances; difficulty concentrating lost
of interest in activities, and finds it difficult to carry out ones normal
daily activities.
