10 WAYS TO MANAGE DEPRESSION

I’ve struggled with depression since I was in high school. Was it because I grew up in an alcoholic home? Was it because of the tension and anger that dwelled constantly within those four walls? Was it because of painful experiences I hadn’t dealt with? Or was it because I was a teenage girl; raging with hormones and descending into anarchy on a desperate quest to figure out who I was.

All of the above.

Yet beyond my physical surroundings there are also my genetic ones. I have a predisposition to depression and everyone in my family tree starting with my grandparents and continuing down was or should have been treated for their symptoms.
