DEPRESSION: NOT TO BE IGNORED


 

Guest:  Jerry Halverson, MD, adult psychiatrist and Medical Director for Adult Services, Rogers Memorial Hospital

Are your sadness, anger, fatigue, negative feelings just moments we all go through at one time or another, or are they symptoms of depression? Depression can change or distort the way you see yourself, your life, and those around you. It is also a disease that can be treated and should not be ignored.

Dr. Jerry Halverson shines new light on depression, what the causes are, and how people with depression and/or anxiety orders can overcome this debilitating disease and live full, productive lives.
