How familiar are you with depression as far as children and teens are concerned? I know I wasn't until I started checking into it. According to the statistics I read, 1 out of every 33 children and 1 out of every 8 teenager suffer some form of depression. There are approximately 14.8 million adults in America suffering from depression in any given year. I don't know about you, but that was a wake up call for me. I had no idea that many children and teenagers were suffering, so that's why I've decided to do what I can to help as many of them as I can. However, therein lies a really big challenge. How do you find that 1 in every 33 child or 1 in every 8 teenager? They may not even be aware of it themselves and the parents may not recognize it either. That's where I come in, I'm going to do my best to, first of all educate as many people as I can about the signs and then explain how the work I do can help them so they don't have to take medication or sit week after week with a therapist, psychologist or whatever not caring, not wanting to, or even not knowing what to talk about. Gotta go for now, more later...............
