Crisis, Loss and Depression

Losing a job can be every bit as devastating as undergoing a divorce or suffering the death of a loved one. Such traumatic, life-altering events can promote feelings of anger, denial and deep sadness.
Doctors recommend people seek help quickly after a major loss. The pain of profound loss may never go away completely. But successful treatment can help shift your focus away from what is lost to what is left.
Look for warning signs of depression, such as:
  1. Despondency
  2. Changes in appetite
  3. Problems concentrating or sleeping
