Life is full of ups and downs. Sometimes emotions may be hard to recognize without the extra stress of the holidays. The holiday season is often a time of joy for many people. They may bring a host of other emotions for others—especially military families with deployed loved ones. About one out of every six adults will have depression at some time in their life. Depression affects about 15,000,000 American adults every year.
Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day. It is a medical illness that involves the body, mood and thoughts that can’t be willed or wished away. However, it is a treatable disorder. The good news is the majority of people who receive treatment feel better and are able to return to normal lives.
