      DEPRESSION

      Are you struggling with depression? Depression can hinder your ability to work, worship or function well in a family. Depression results in difficulty going to sleep or staying asleep. For some, depression makes it seem like it is almost impossible to get out of bed in the morning. Depression can make you feel worthless.

      Some people become depressed after a major event. Others seem to be struck unexpectedly. Some will experience depression that is almost unbearable, only to feel the complete opposite a few months later where there may be periods you can’t seem to slow down. There are even some that have felt depressed for as far back as they can remember.

      If any of these situations describe you, you may suffer from depression or some other disorder. Read the checklist that follows to see if any of these statements describe what you are currently experiencing or have experienced in the last few months.
