Don’t Let Depression Derail Your Goals

2 014 may be your year to
stop smoking, increase exercise,
or eat right to lose
weight. These goals remain
popular, but consider a fourth
goal—getting treatment for your
depression. Depression can undermine
your goals. It can lower your energy and affect self-esteem,
decrease enthusiasm, disturb restful sleep, interrupt
concentration, and even reduce your stamina to ward
off and fight disease. Depression isn’t your fault, but the
urge to blame yourself for failures in achieving your goals
may be strong, and you don’t deserve it. Don’t kick yourself.
Instead get an assessment from a mental health professional
or your doctor, or seek assistance through your EAP.
