 Carrie takes medicine for ongoing depression. People sometimes say, oh, I experienced depression for two weeks, but it's not the same. I have better days and I have worse days, but it's always there. So how can others be helpful? The most important thing someone can do is just listen and remember that you don't know what's going on in their mind. Try not to tell them what to do, what meds to take, because every mental illness is so different. Just listen from the Mennonite Churches in Faith and Values Media.
