October is Depression Education & Awareness Month


Know the signs

Persistent sadness, loss of interest, sleep/appetite changes, low energy, feelings of worthlessness, difficulty concentrating, or thoughts of self-harm.

What doctors say

Clinicians use screening tools and tailor evidence-based treatmentsโ€”therapy, medication, lifestyle adjustments, and treatment of underlying medical causes. Emergency help: In the U.S., call/text 988 for immediate support.

Counseling & yearly physicals

Therapy creates space to process pain and retrain thinking. Annual checkups can uncover thyroid issues, diabetes impact, or medication effects that mimic or worsen depression.

Declaration: I am not my diagnosis. I am loved, needed, and growing. Help is available and healing is possible.

Prayer: Lord, lift heavy hearts, restore joy, and surround each caregiver and clinician with wisdom. Amen.
