Depression is not always something that is easily identified, that is why there are so many commercials today broadcasting images and messages about some of the most common ways to tell if someone you know may be depressed.

It is very important to be able to recognize depression in someone and in yourself, because it is normally treatable. If it is left to take its own path, it can lead to devastating results. Did you know most people who commit suicide showed signs for a long time that they were depressed or had thoughts of suicide in their head. The problem is that so many people don’t know how to identify these signs.

The Lutheran Hour Ministries has recognized this as an enormous problem, and has done something about it. They are offering a free book that will help you understand depression and how to spot it. If you would a free copy, just click here.
