Depression, a condition affecting millions, isn’t just a matter of feeling blue or having a bad day; it’s a profound and sometimes debilitating mental health disorder that can touch the lives of anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. Yet, despite its prevalence, there persists a pervasive stigma that keeps many individuals from seeking help, understanding, or even acknowledging their own struggles. In honor of National Depression Screening Day, let’s examine this societal bias, its far-reaching consequences, and the critical role we all play in rewriting the narrative around mental health. #DepressionScreening #NationalDepressionScreeningDay #DepressionAwareness #MentalHealthAdvocacy https://bit.ly/48DDULk

An article from The Guardian states that people living with a severe mental illness are isolated and lonely. Without community and companionship, how are they supposed to recover and heal? The article mentions that the stigma attached to mental health disorders is rising. This stigma can lead people to isolate themselves. Social connections and positive relationships are so important for our mental well-being, especially when we are struggling. No one should be left to suffer alone and in silence. At Inspire North, we believe in cherishing the social connections we make and taking time to talk to colleagues, not just about their roles but about THEM as individuals. Sometimes, offering your time and giving individuals the space to be heard can make such a difference. Maybe #Today is the time to reach out to a colleague or loved one who you may not have spoken to for a while and check-in. That message or call could change their entire day!

We all have moments of procrastinating or feeling lazy. And there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with having these moments, for whatever reason. But it's important to distinguish when it’s “just laziness” or procrastination, and when it’s something deeper – a sign of underlying depression. 💬 “Even though we’ve come a long way in mental health awareness, there is still a big stigma attached to depression. People who live with depression are often labeled as being “just lazy,” and their struggles with mental illness get dismissed or minimized. This can make the experience of depression even more painful than it already is.” – explains Saya Des Marais, MSW, Therapist-turned-mental health writer. If you need help, Calmerry is here. Our licensed psychotherapists can help you manage depression symptoms, explore your lack of motivation, and figure out strategies to move forward. 💙 #motivation #depression #procrastination #mentalhealth #workplacewellbeing

Do you know someone who's feeling depressed? Here's how to help them. Depression is a deeply personal and often misunderstood mental health condition marked by long-lasting feelings of sadness, hopelessness and a loss of interest in everyday activities. At some point in life, most individuals will experience feelings and symptoms of depression. These experiences can vary widely in how strongly people feel their sadness, how long it lasts, and how long they have been struggling. Understanding common signs of depression and knowing how to help can make a big difference for our loved ones. *Common signs and symptoms of depression* Recognising depression in someone you care about can be a bit like piecing together a puzzle. Everyone’s experience of depression is unique, and the way it shows up can vary widely. However, there are some common signs that loved ones might notice: - Your loved one seems consistently down. - Hobbies or activities that once brought your loved one joy no longer hold the same appeal. - Your loved one may become more easily frustrated or snappy. - Your loved one may make negative comments -about themselves more often than not. - Your loved one may struggle to make decisions or stay focused (sometimes even in conversations). - Your loved one is physically there, but it feels like their mind is elsewhere, and they’re less engaged. - Your loved one may want to be around friends and family, but they may not want to engage and socialise. - Your loved one may struggle to get through the day as they have very little energy. - Your loved one might drown themselves into work, or they might struggle to do any at all. - Your loved one may sleep in later than usual more frequently and struggle to get out of bed, or they may become a night owl and have insomnia; they may find they have little appetite, or start eating more than they typically would (especially comfort food). Recognizing these signs early and without judgement, then offering support, can help someone in depression feel less alone and get the care they need. *How to help someone in depression* Before offering assistance, stop to check on your own emotional state. Make sure you’re in a good emotional and mental place and able to provide support. Remember, you can’t pour from an empty glass, so take care of yourself, too. When it comes to helping someone in depression, the “Space, Speak, Solve” approach is a valuable guide. It emphasises the importance of creating a safe and supportive environment for your loved one.
