Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
I'm 18 and have just started college after a rough year at sixth form. I was just wandering whether anyone has had to take a year out from work or education, what you did in that time to help with the illness and whether it was beneficial.
My tutor and most of my close friends are trying to convice me that this is the way forward. What do you think?
