Get help.

“The worldwide pandemic has disrupted our lives, caused grief and worry, and brought even more hardship to people already struggling with economic, educational, societal, and physical and mental health challenges. More people than usual are living with anxiety or depression and, sadly, the suicide rate is increasing. We want you to know, believe, and embrace the fact that you have the power to help someone who is affected by a mood disorder. Social distancing does not have to mean emotional distancing or loneliness. You can be caring in the time of COVID-19.”

Families for Depression Awareness helps families recognize and cope with depression and bipolar disorder to get people well and prevent suicides. HERE is their info on help during COVID-19.
