It can be easy to get into the excitement and preparation of the holidays and forget that, while we may enjoy this time of year, it is not always enjoyable for everyone.

Some individuals have not experienced joyful holidays in the past, so what we may experience as fun and full of tradition is not what they may experience. When this is the case, depression, and at times, struggles with suicide, can come in. We talk about the different things users can do to relieve their depression – from getting a good nights sleep to using relaxing lights and herbal teas.

Join our MercyTalk hosts, Melanie and Jen, with guest, Brooke, as they spend some time discussing depression and suicide. Join our hosts as they discuss:
