Counselors VS. Friends

Mental Health

Who would you go to first if you were having issues with depression?


Someone you trust

I have delt with and gotten through some depression, and I basically isolated myself because I had been to so many counsilors but hadn't even talked to mother about the situation. I wouldn't want to make the same mistake, so speak to an adult close to you about your feelings and they can determine whether you need help or not. God bless you!

Let me know if I was any help!

Someone that I've known very

Someone that I've known very close!
