I don't know about you, but right about now, I just want to lock out the world and watch videos. Perhaps you can relate? Many of us are feeling nervous, depressed, frightened, confused, uncertain...

What can you do to stave off depression in precarious times?

As often as you can manage, focus outside of yourself and engage in the world.

Help someone else. Give blood. Talk to a senior citizen. Volunteer once a week.

No need to make a big commitment that may feel overwhelming.

Do something – no matter how small it seems to you – that is not about you. Acts of kindness and acts of service can fend off depression.
