Shedding a Light on Depression
Am I depressed? After 11 years as licensed clinical social worker and
administrator of a dialysis facility, plus 5 years working for the renal
network, Mark Meier has the know-how to pull away the stigma, the secrecy, and
the shame of depression to reveal a treatable illness whose symptoms have been
experienced by most people at one time or another. Tune into this remarkable
show to learn more about depression, what causes it, why diabetes and CKD
patients may be more susceptible to it, and how you can find your way back to
the sunny side of the street.
