Did You Know?

According to the Centers for Disease Control, nearly 1 in 10 Americans suffer from clinical depression. Unlike sadness, depression is characterized as a sense of hopelessness, hollowness, fatigue, lack of motivation, helplessness, lack of pleasure, and an overwhelming heaviness that makes daily life very difficult. Those who suffer from depression experience a degree of emotional anguish that can make functioning very difficult. 

Despite the high percentage of people affected by depression, a sense of isolation or being alone often accompanies it. People who are depressed often withdraw from their loved ones. This often compounds their experience, as social support is important for any person’s wellbeing - particularly those who are struggling with depression

depression is common, but often debilitating to the person experiencing it. Those who are depressed may feel empty, hopeless, drained, and without joy. If you or someone you love is suffering from depression, there is hope. Contact us at (516) 221-9494 today for more information.

In our new series, "Myth of the Week," we'll be exploring some of the common misconceptions we may have regarding mental health. This week, we’ll be taking a closer look at the culprit behind mood swings. 

Myth: "Mood swings are always a sign of mental illness, and probably mean that you're Bipolar."

Although it’s become a common part of the pop psych vernacular, accusing someone of "acting Bipolar" is rarely accurate. Often, the causes of rapid mood swings are from far more common -- and less expected -- sources.

An Eye on Japan: Natural Disasters and Trauma

[Image credit: The Huffington Post] 

The world has watched in horror since a 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit the northeastern coast of Japan, bringing devastation, death, nuclear unease - and astounding displays of courage. Amid images of rubble, flooding, and fear, inspiring stories of survivors keep pouring in. Natural disasters can damage a person financially, emotionally, and mentally, and the trauma associated with it can linger in the lives of these brave survivors even longer than the physical aftershocks.
