I wasn’t depressed, but had anxiety. Unfortunately, I hid it from my parents for fear that they won’t understand. B”H my mother detected that something was amiss and got it all out of me. She ordered the Attacking Anxiety & Depression program by the Midwest Center. It truly helped me overcome my anxiety. I am totally out of it now.
Don’t be ashamed to get help! It’s totally okay. Being unhealthy is not okay. There are more people in the Heimishe community that suffer from mental illness than you think. You just keep going. Hatzlacha!!
