Depression and anxiety can be debilitating, life-threatening illnesses. But often people suffering with these conditions do not know they have an illness that can be treated. If they do know that these conditions can be treated, they may not know where to turn for such help. Because of the economic downturn in this country, there has been an increase in the number of people experiencing these mood disorders.
The symptoms of depression may include lack of energy, changes in eating or sleep patterns, sadness, irritability, and a sense of hopelessness. Anxiety is fear about future uncertainties and may be accompanied by feelings of panic. If you or someone you know may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or depression, this is an opportunity to clarify your concerns and receive education and guidance on how to get help.
The Press Contact for this event is Kathy Kohl at 1-888-626-2273, box 3.
