Getting Help
Depression is one of the most common emotional problems. The good news is that it's also one of the most treatable conditions. There are professionals who can help. In fact, about 80% of people who get help for their depression have a better quality of life - they function better and enjoy themselves in a way that they weren't able to before.
Depression - and the suffering that goes with depression - is real. Depression doesn't make a person "crazy." Just as things can go wrong in all other organs of the body, things can go wrong in the most important organ of all: the brain.
Talking about it is a start and someone to listen to you is a start. We're here to listen and help. 3nodding
