October 8 has been designated as “Depression Screening Day.” Clinical depression is a common medical illness affecting more than 19 million American adults each year. Like screenings for other illnesses, depression screenings should be a routine part of healthcare. For a link to a free online depression screening, go to ERC’s website at http://www.erc-eap.com/ and click on the links under “Featured Topics.” Additional information about depression is available on our website under “Self-Help Resources” – “ERC Library” (or use this direct link: Employee Resource Center > Depression).
Depression ranks among the top three workplace problems for employee assistance professionals, following only family crisis and stress. There is no reason to suffer with this disorder. Help is available through your EAP. Please call us at 1-800-222-8590 for a confidential assessment.
