Don't live with depression

By Dr Bill Maier

Depression can come from a lot of sources, and it can completely drain the joy out of life.

Not all cases of depression are the same. Some people go into depressive moods that leave them utterly immobilised, while others just find themselves sad more often than they should be.

Regardless of the degree, the effects can be profound, leading people to think and do things that they otherwise would never consider.

Serious cases can even lead to thoughts of suicide. And almost all cases leave people with a sense of dejection and hopelessness.

Not only can you no longer see the light at the end of the tunnel — you don’t believe the tunnel ever ends.

But there’s no reason for anyone to live with depression. There are therapies and treatments available to help manage even the most debilitating cases.

Trust me — there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and help is within your grasp.
