Everyone feels sad or “blue” from time to time, but for some these helpless feelings won’t go away. Depression is a real illness that gets in the way of life and relationships. It interferes with a person’s ability to function and live life normally.

Depression not only makes people feel sad, it affects the entire body. People with serious depression do not all have the same symptoms, but they may include sadness, guilt, irritability, trouble concentrating or making decisions, loss of energy, loss of interest in pleasurable activities, sleep changes, appetite changes and suicidal thoughts.

To generate greater awareness and answer questions about depression, Sarah Bush Lincoln Licensed Clinical Social Workers Jennifer Ogle and Richard McDade will be featured on WEIU-TV’s “Being Well” at 7 pm Tuesday, January 19. This hour-long live broadcast will give people the opportunity to call or email questions about depression and have them answered on the air.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
