Support group helps you understand depression
HURON COUNTY - Life has its ups and downs all of us experience
thein at one time or another. One of every three Canadians will have tem-
porary emotional problems. .
Life is all about dealing with everyday problems but•you don't have to_
handle them by yourself because there is help all around everyday.
A social support network of family, friends and
co-workers can help make a difference in our Iifc.
Being part of mutual friendships can make life
more rewarding and more fulfilling. Not only •
can belonging to a support network help you,
it can also be beneficial to the other people
involved because they too receive support.
Depression is an illness afflicting mind and
body. At times almost everyone feels down, blue or sad and be-
comes discouraged with life but usually these mood changes are tempo-
rary. However, when a depressed mood persists for one or two months,
causes a person to feel miserable and sad in Many ways and begins to in=
terfere with everyday living it is likely to be the sign of a serious state of
depression that requires outside help..
Manic depression is an illness related to depression but the person alter-
nates between periods of mania followed by periods of -depression. At the
beginning of a manic phase a person appears more outgoing and energetic.
These behaviors intensify and the following symptoms appear, a decreased
need for sleep, racing thoughts and flights or ideas and excessive energy.
The person may also experience impaired judgement, extreme irritability,
grandiose delusions and excessive energy. A manic phase is immediately
followed,by a period of depression. .
One in four women and one _in 10 men can expect to develop depression
at some point in their lives. Eighty per ccnt of people with depression can
feel better and recover within a few weeks.when ihey receive appropriate
treatment.. Mgst people who suffer from either de-
pression or manic depression feel a sense of.rc-
lief when they learn the facts about their illness.
They realize that depression and/or manic de-
pression is not a personal weakness and that
they are nct.alonc.
In recognizing that listening. and understanding
plus a strong support network can bring tremendous
comfort to people with depression and/or manic depression, the Canadian
Mental Health Association -Huron Branch is sponsoring a new support

There is no scientific evidence to support the. claims that mag-
nets have positive therapeutic effects - on the human body.
some people spend a lot of money on magnetic devices and the
only effect is a thinner wallet. Some research is teating highly -

sults so far have been mixed. -
A knocked -out tooth can be saved if reimplanted within 30 min-

terwards. Don't touch the roots of the tooth. Rinse it carefully
and insert it backinto the socket then see a dentist immediate-
