Depression – the Thief Who Steals the Joy of Living
We all get “blue” from time to time. The promotion we worked for goes to someone else. The car needs another repair. Our child continues to bring home less-than-satisfactory grades. That annoying health condition lingers on. Sometimes, it’s just a cloudy day that makes us feel less than enthusiastic.
However, if you’ve been feeling sad, hopeless, out of sorts, or pessimistic for more than two weeks or especially if you’ve been thinking about suicide, it’s time to seek help right away.
But you won’t find the help you’re desperately seeking in a bottle of wine or pills.
As alluring and intoxicating as they may seem, alcohol and drugs will only add to your misery by deepening your depression and putting you at risk for addiction.

Who’s at Risk?
You are as well as everyone else you know.
At some point in everyone’s life, depression can occur. Life events such as divorce, death, financial ruin, disease, and hormonal changes due to aging can trigger depression. When left untreated – or worse, when self-medicated with alcohol or drugs – the depression deepens and threatens to harm the person or even destroy their life through addiction and death caused by an overdose.
Men and women experience depression differently due to physiological and behavioral differences. Depression in seniors is often mistaken for a symptom of a serious illness or even grief after the passing of a loved one. Children face their own challenges with peer pressure, the availability of illegal drugs and their use, learning difficulties, and more.
