This weekend, we are going to be focusing on depression. Whether it's minor, major, or seasonal; depression affects SO many of us and it looks different for everyone.
We will answer questions such as:
• what is depression?
• why do we get depressed?
• how can spirituality help?
• what else can we do to feel better?
