NATIONAL DEPRESSION SCREENING DAY – People say that college is supposed to be great, but many students feel like they are just out of it, disconnected and alone. They feel sad, hopeless, and not up to the challenge of college. If you are feeling this way and can’t shake yourself out of it no matter what you do, you might be suffering from depression. Depression is more that just a bad day, it is a treatable disorder that can leave you feeling so bad that you forget how it feels to feel good. On October 7, the Counseling Center, Student Health and the Office of Students with Disabilities will be offering, free, confidential screenings for depression where you can fill out a quick self-test and talk with a counselor about your personal situation. Even if you don’t have depression and are just going through a couple of bad days, you are invited to come and learn about what services are available on and off campus. You might learn something that will help you, a friend or a roommate in the future. The screenings and information sessions are being held in Bede 111, Student Health, on October 7, from 10:00 to 2:00. Or, call Laurie Wilson at 281-8587 for more information.
