Got the blues? You are not alone.

Have you ever felt like you are the only one who is sad in a world of happy people? Everyone experiences stress, sadness and anxiety from time to time – it's part of life. These feelings often happen when you lose a job, children move away from home, during divorce, with a death in the family, or during retirement. But when changes in mood and behavior interfere with one’s ability to work, sleep, eat, and enjoy once pleasurable activities, it could be a sign of depression.

National Depression Screening Day is on October 6, 2011. To observe this event, ERC Assist would like to give you the opportunity to take a free, anonymous questionnaire to screen for depression. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms go to ERC's website at http://www.assisterc.com/ and look for the link on our home page under Featured Topic. If you prefer to meet personally with a counselor you may contact ERC Assist at 1-800-222-8590 for a free private consultation.
