Be Mindful of Depression During the Holiday Season

For many, this time of year is full of joy, happiness, and family. But for others, it is the exact opposite: a time of hopelessness, sadness, and loneliness! Depression is growing and is especially prominent during Thanksgiving and Christmas. All of us need to mindful of our family and friends who suffer from mental illness. We must do all we can to reach out, include, listen, support and intervene. Give love and support as much as you can.
