Depression: sadness becomes illness


Have not posted for a couple of days - yet have much to say on some of the topics of this week. A family member has a depressive illness and have been doing my best to be supportive. Have just come home from five hours in the Emergency Department of our local hospital. We hope for an improvement. Thank God for Beyond Blue. In Australia, in this point in the 21st century, we are able to talk openly about depression and mental illness. I don't want to enlarge on the experience of my family member because I do not want to impinge on the privacy of another but if you have stuff to contribute on the topic of depression, please post.
