SFS Minute 1088: Get Help

Sadly, so many Americans are depressed, maybe 15%. And that makes me very unhappy because there are things that we can do to get better and to be less depressed. I've already mentioned that you could stop waiting. You must be proactive. You must stand up and say, "I am depressed, and I'm going to do something about it." That is the only way. You can't be depressed and hope that it will go away. You must be more proactive. In just a second, I'll give you another thing that you can do to just stop being so depressed. If you're depressed, go get some help. There are many telephone numbers that provide help. There are many churches and other organizations, and maybe some friends that you haven't reached out to. The main thing is, don't do it alone. Maybe you need medicine. There's nothing wrong with that. Maybe you need a doctor. There's nothing wrong with that. If you're depressed, don't fight it alone. Let someone else help you.
