Is The Holiday Season The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year? Not for many, in fact studies show that depression is more prevalent during the holiday season, this is the time that we tend to miss our beloved ones who have passed on, or have left our lives.

Depression can strike at anytime and to anyone. Too many times, we have heard someone from the pulpit stating that depression is of the devil and although there is some validity to this, let's be real, depression is a disease which cannot be prayed away. Suicide rate among Christians is increasing, but there is help.

You are NOT alone. Don't wait another moment, if you or someone you love is experiencing depression, get help now!!!

DBSA San Diego emphasizes education in all areas that relate to bipolar and depressive illnesses, including the identification of community resources available to help those affected by these disorders.
