The sudden end of holiday activity can be a let-down. For most, the lows we may experience have few long-term effects. However, depression—which affects many—is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States. Symptoms include prolonged periods of sadness, loss of interest in once-loved activities, and low self-worth. However, depression is very treatable. God has blessed our country with outstanding mental health professionals who offer treatment that, when in harmony with the grace we receive in faith and through prayer, can lead to recovery. The stigma once attributed to mental health issues is rightly fading. If you or a loved one struggles with depression, be unafraid to reach out for help. With faith in God and strengthened by grace, supported by sound mental health counseling, any person can have a brighter tomorrow.
