Lunch & Learn - National Depression Screening Day

Got the Blues? You Are Not Alone

Ever feel like you are the only one who is sad in a world of happy people? Everyone experiences stress, sadness and anxiety from time to time – it's part of life. These feelings often happen when you lose a job, children move away from home, during divorce, with a death in the family, or during retirement. But when changes in mood and behavior interfere with one’s ability to work, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities, it could be a sign of depression.

St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley will be hosting a Lunch & Learn for National Depression Screening Day (NDSD) on Thursday, Oct. 6, 2011. The event will take place from 11 a.m. - 1 p.m. in the Student Center Multipurpose Room.   

NDSD gives people the opportunity to take a free, anonymous questionnaire assessing their risk for mood and anxiety disorders and provides referral information for treatment.

For more information call 314-513-4252. The event is sponsored by the Counseling Department, Campus Life, North County Cares & the Wellness Committee at St. Louis Community College-Florissant Valley.
