In our lifetime, we will all have to deal with feelings of sadness and grief. Things don’t work out the way we want. We are let down. People we love pass from our lives. All of these situations can be very difficult to deal with. We feel sad. We cry and struggle with getting the energy together to get up and do what needs to be done. But most of the time, 
we slowly get over these feelings and our lives return to a semblance of normal. The things we love helps sustain us and we move on.
But that is not true for everyone. For far to many people all over the world – 300 million people across the world suffer from depression according to the World Health Organization – life becomes too hard. And this 
depression and anxiety is causing serious physical health consequences as well. This article in the Sacramento Bee sheds light on the huge personal and economic impact of untreated depression.
We need to put aside any feelings of shame we may have about depression. We need to be more understanding and compassionate. If you or someone you know is 
struggling with depression, seek help. Most communities offer a wide range of treatment services.
