A caregiver’s (good) little helper

If happiness seems elusive but sadness seems prevalent, then check with your doctor about anti-depressants. You may think that happiness cannot be found in a pill. That’s probably true. But, often, the road to happiness lies in a pill. You also may think that an anti-depressant is a crutch, a weakness. But, often, an anti-depressant is freedom.

   Check with your doctor about the right medication to help you. And, you can learn more about depression and anti-depressants at these web sites:
