Depression

Yup, any one of us can get depressed at any moment. It happens. Sometimes depression is passing; other times it can linger for weeks or months and affect our sleep, eating, isolation and other aspects of our health. Of course, addressing the real life problems that may lead to your feeling this way are important. However, it's also true that some individuals are able to feel okay even when their external situation is really bad, and others may feel depressed a lot even when their external situation isn't bad at all. The good news is that there is a lot you can learn to help yourself feel an inner calm and strength no matter what your situation.

Medication

We're learning a lot about depression. Not all of it is situational. Some of us seem prone to it. It may be genetic or the impact of early life events over which we had no control. Regardless, medication is known to be an easy fix for a lot of people. They report feeling better almost all of the time. We can help you sort out if this may be a good option for you.

Change your behavior

Depression leads to certain behavior that can make us more depressed. You can learn how to take action against depression. For example, depression leads to isolation. Isolation leads to further depression. Learning how to push yourself to make a plan to meet to meet another farmer for coffee or to go to that meeting at the grange can make a surprising difference in how you feel.
