We forget the battles we won, the hardships we faced and the pain we endured. Yet, there are occasions like yesterday’s National Depression Screening Day or Mental Illness Awareness Week that help to remind us to not forget. More importantly, it reiterates the importance of helping those who are in their own struggles right now. The top posts this week deal with issues that you or someone you know may be dealing with right now. As we end the week, I hope you’ll read these posts, share it with those you care about, take the tips you’ve learned and pay it forward. As always, I wish you a happy and healthy weekend! Enjoy.

Depression is characterized by feelings of never-ending sadness, hopelessness, fatigue, trouble with sleep, trouble with eating, and trouble with enjoying things in life that only yesterday seemed to bring a smile to your face (or some combination of those and similar kinds of symptoms). In order for depression to be diagnosed, you must have felt these kinds of symptoms without a break for at least two weeks. Most people who experience depression, however, suffer in silence with their symptoms for a lot more than 2 weeks — some suffer for months or even years before finally seeking help for the problem....

We need more than a day, but it’s a start. Why do we need a day like that? Because there are people who are depressed but don’t know they can get help. There are people who are fighting a losing battle against depression because they’re not getting the help they know they need. There are people who deny the existence of a true medical problem called depression, making it difficult – if not impossible – for their loved ones to get help. Clinical depression is a serious medical illness. It will not go away on its own and you can’t tough it out. Clinical depression isn’t feeling sad because you lost someone close to you or you are just feeling down. Clinical d...

Researchers from the University of Florida in Gainesville found elevated depression among older diabetic adults in the Health, Aging and Body Composition (Health ABC) study published this month in Archives of Internal Medicine. Health ABC, a cohort study, examined community-dwelling 70 to 79-year-old adults living in Memphis and Pittsburgh. Participants reported no depression at baseline, and were assessed annually for an average of nearly six years. Diabetes mellitus was associated with a 30% increased risk for depressed mood, and participants with poor glycemic control were associated with a...
