Native America Calling: Pushing past barriers to treat depression
Wednesday, October 14, 2020
A new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association finds nearly a quarter of all Americans now say they are experiencing symptoms of depression. That’s three times higher than the number before the start of the pandemic.
Symptoms may come and go, but they can also get progressively worse. And previous studies indicate many of those with clinical depression don’t seek professional treatment because of persistent stigma about the disease.
For Depression Awareness Month, Native America Calling will get reminders about recognizing and treating depression and how to clear hurdles to treatment when you may feel you’re least able to do so.
