WEATHERING THE STORM PART 3 MENTAL HEALTH

We continue today with Weathering the Storm, a multiple part feature as we take a closer look at mental health.  Yesterday we addressed some of the signs that may be present in those with depression.  Today in part three Tammy Dramstad, therapist with Community Counseling Services in Huron explains what we should do if someone we love is severely depressed.

Dramstad said its important to take a personal interest with a one on one approach.

She said its important to ask how the person feels and refrain from giving advice.
