It takes COURAGE to seek help or advice. Doing so indicates an openness to learning and a sign of STRENGTH. If you have a willingness to face your difficulties then you have the ability to make great changes! Sometimes therapy involves discovering the wisdom deep inside in order to learn new skills and behaviors that you may never have been taught. You are NOT ALONE! About 7% (13-14 million people) in any given year will experience depression, a common emotional disorder. 97% say their work, home life, and relationships are affected. Because you are not alone in this matter there are an abundance of resources to help you get through and counseling can be your first step.
