Reading through the blogs today I saw a post about Thursday, Oct. 6 being National Depression Screening Day.
Much like that post talks about, it’s never a bad idea to get a free depression screening. Trust me, if you’re thinking that you might be a little depressed, find out, get the correct treatment, medication, therapy, both, etc. and get a handle on this illness before it gets worse. Don’t let it take more of your life than it already has.
This month was somewhat slow for contributions, I’m sure the holiday had a lot to do with it, keeping everyone busy and away from their blogs. On the other hand, there’s nothing like family time to inspire abuse survivors to write, so I’m looking forward to reading some of the post-holiday thoughts in the next…
Since we’ve been having all this discussion about friendship and relationships, I thought I would pose a question. When you tell people about your abuse or talk to them about specific issues surrounding it, suffering from depression for example, how would you like them to react? What do you expect from your friends, family, significant…
For those of you who have been following things over on the Tech Blog, you already know that I passed my A+ Certifications on Monday. That’s a relief!!! I did, however, find it odd that I got so stressed out about them. I can remember in HS being so incredibly good at taking tests that…
Yesterday was the Thanksgiving holiday here in the US, which of course makes today the biggest shopping day of the year as everyone gets the jump on Christmas shopping. (Well not everyone, I haven’t even left the house today, though I do have some plans with a friend for dinner, so I’m not a complete…
This time it’s the case of the rape away the gay pastor, who tried to explain away his sexual abuse of boys by claiming he was trying to keep me from being gay, who has had his sentence reduced to 5 years of probation and mandatory sex offender classes. On the heels of what happened…
If you read here regularly, you probably know that I’m a big hockey fan. It’s easily my favoite sport, and I follow it pretty closely. Needless to say, I’ve been following the story of Dan Snyder this past week, and unfortunately, the story has an even sadder ending, as he died from his injuries yesterday….

Thank you for being talking about National Depression Screening day. Screening for depression is one of the most effective ways of catching this disabling condition so that it can be effectively treated. But why only 1 day a year? Because it takes too long to administer the screening. So to overcome that, we at AuroraMD automated the screening process, so that it happens automatically in the primary care waiting room with little staff time. Then the results are presented to the doctor in the exam room. See our website http://www.auroramd.com .
Is your doctor screening everyday?
