Depression
“The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality.”
– Andrew Solomon
Vitality is something we can create, mold, and we can measure.
Vitality is a fancy word for “energy” and if you have ever been depressed, you know that energy, among other experiences, is something that is lacking.
Did you know that depression is the number 1 disability in the State of Georgia?

I can go on for days about how prevalent it is. What this means is…
You are not alone!
Depression manifests differently in all of us.
For some people, depression appears as sadness with lots of tears.
For some people, depression brings numbness and a lack of emotion.
For others, depression makes them tired all the time, while still others can’t sleep at all.
Its symptoms can be so vague! It’s important to work with someone who recognizes depression for what it is and can help.
Depression doesn’t discriminate.
It shows up in all cultures, across all races, genders, socio economic strati.
It can be relentless and can bleed into all other areas of our life- spiritually, socially, emotionally, professionally, etc.
