Remember sadness is different from depression. If you have been feeling sad for a prolonged period, have not been able to enjoy the things you usually do, have lost interest in a lot of things, you may be experiencing depression. If you think you may be experiencing depression, please seek help, for example speak to your doctor. Or pastor or counselor for direction on what to do next. Do not let things be.
Feel free to read our blogs to our the subject of depression.
Zoe met Eze (Chuck) in the 14th year of what turned out to be an 18 year ‘journey’ with mental illness. They got married less than a year of meeting with Zoe fully knowing Chuck had a diagnosis of mental illness. In the 18th year, Chuck defied the odds of mental illness. A consultant psychiatrist signed him off the mental health system with a bill of NO MENTAL ILLNESS. The consultant was so amazed by Chuck’s astonishing recovery that he even questioned how Chuck was diagnosed with mental illness all those years before, in the first place! Today Chuck is free from medication, its dependency and hospitalizations. Zoe’s award nominated book, DEFYING THE ODDS, chronicles the highs and ‘lows’ of this journey. Zoe, often writing from the standpoint of a caregiver, clearly understands that mental illness does not only affect an individual challenged with the disease, but also families, marriages and society as a whole.
