This workshop discussed depression, how it affects people, and how those people can be helped. We watched a video where many people who suffered from depression or had friends who were depressed discussed their experiences. This workshop was informative, as I learned a lot about depression, its affects and cures. Sadly, people who suffer from depression also sometimes have suicidal thoughts. Some people may act upon these feelings, and commit suicide. This has devastating effects on the people who loved the person. Suicide was said to be a permanent solution to a temporary problem. This is true, and so the workshop focused on suicide prevention. Detection is the first step, as we must pay attention to changes in own friends. They may be suffering from depression. Then we must get these people help. Even though people may not want help, getting them help is the best thing you can do for them. Depression can be eliminated, as can suicidal thoughts. It just has to be acted upon correctly.
