Some of us say, "I'm so depressed" and refer to situational depression — something happened that bummed us out. But for some people, undiagnosed clinical depression can affect quality of life and lead, in extreme cases, to suicide if untreated.
Today is National Depression Screening Day, so if you're worried you may have more than a passing case of the blues, go to this website to find out where in your area you can get free and confidential screening for depression. The screening doesn't diagnose depression but helps lead you to qualified professionals who can provide a full assessment. You can also take their online assessment questionnaire.

The depths of depression,to me, are not living life. It is total and overwhelming agony every second of every moment. Thoughts of not living are a way to end the pain.
It's been 42 years, 35 untreated. I'm still fighting. Actually, most people know me as upbeat, very sociable, compassionate and easy to be with.
I have designed a class/workship for people who are depressed/bipolar integrating my skills as a yoga teacher, dancer and fitness professional I have a nursing degree, massage license and 2 blackbelts and a abundance of patience.
