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.
Just wanted to share a new medication I found for my chronic / acute depression. The medication is called volunteering. I have recently spent 2 months in a mental institution and am working on helping myself.
I decided to try volunteering at the VA to see if it helps with my depression. My opening is that IT DOES!!
I spend one to two days a week volunteering at the local VA hospital doing various tasks. Being a computer programmer for 35 years I find it fulfilling to do simple tasks and seeing who people appreciate it.
Try it!!

option 1
Sit at home and sink deeper and deeper into depression.
option 2
Go to your volunteer JOB and don't sink deeper and deeper into depression.
