Dopamine

an NIH research

Dealing effectively with depression can improve your
quality of life.

". . . when patients describe a degree of
disability that is far greater than their motor examination
suggests, it is important to look for signs of a depressive
disorder. Successful treatment of depression improves
intellectual deficits, fatigue, and slowness, and patients are
better able to pursue regular exercise and other compensatory
strategies that maximize function . . . "

This is one of my favorite
prints, "Drowning Girl" by Roy Lichtenstein. She is saying, "I
don't care! I'd rather sink than call Brad for help!" It illustrates how I felt before I got help for depression; it also
represents the difficulty I have asking for help to this day. I look
at this print on my wall and its absurdity makes me smile - and take
action.
