Mental Health Month October 2020: Depression: 10 Myth Busters 

\\n

Two Natural ladies share Sal Prothero\\u2019s ten myth busters on depression. Sal a university trained nutritionist discusses these myths that can be so damaging to those of us dealing with depression.

\\n

MYTH *Depression is a sign of weakness! NO! Anyone at any time in their life can become depressed. Sometimes it is due to a particular trauma, which was the case for Jo. Or for no apparent reasons we start to feel \\u2018down\\u2019 which leads to isolating ourselves, poor diet, lack of exercise.

\\n

Getting kids to eat well can be a struggle. Jo finds creative ways with her grandson Jacob- put peanut butter on the celery, carrot \\u2013 all vegies and then he will eat it

\\n

MYTH *Depression isn\\u2019t real \\u2013 its all in our head! Really? Of course its real just ask the millions of people who deal with this daily. Women seem to be willing to talk about their depression more than men. The suicide rate for men is much higher than women \\u2013 we must support our men in speaking up. And changing just one small thing can make a difference. Walking around the block every day, going out for a coffee, listening to an uplifting song, reading an uplifting quote \\u2013 just one little change can make a difference.

\\n

People hid their depression and can be seen as lazy when they cannot get out of bed. We get tired and don\\u2019t want to talk to anyone.

\\n

Being real, being vulnerable allows everyone the opportunity to share their story. We are all human.
