Do you love what you're doing? Do you feel like you are just naturally good at it or not? Does it energize you or does it feel like a real chore? Or maybe you're really good at it because you've worked at it and practiced it over enough time that you learned the skills it takes but it wears you out. Is it something you're doing out of love or maybe necessity, but you don't really enjoy the job? Are you missing doing the things that you have a real talent for, the things you've given up because of the time and energy demands of caregiving?

Depression is more than just a bout of the blues. It isn’t a weakness or a character flaw. And you can’t simply snap out of it. Depression can happen to anyone.

Do you ever notice that the stress and work of caregiving and the changes it brings to your life are affecting your mood and outlook? Do you ever suspect that you are experiencing depression?

In this episode we’ll take an informative look at:

· signs and symptoms of depression

· the risk factors and causes

· how to recognize it if happens to you or your loved one

· when and where to get help

Depression is treatable, but the first step is getting information about what it is, its effects, and what to do if you think you or your care recipient may have depression.

Your mental health is important, and you deserve care.
