Did you know that 1 in 4 people will experience major depression in their lifetime? And that every 17 minutes someone commits suicide in the US alone.  More alarming still is the reality that as many as 8 veterans a day die by suicide.  Now, here is the most misunderstood fact; suicide is the most preventable death of all.  Most people who attempt suicide are clinically depressed.  90% of clinically depressed people who reach out for help never make an attempt again.  This is very personal to me as I saw this depression first hand.  My beloved husband had clinical depression and did not know it.  He suffered for a while not even realizing that he had depression.  He is a veteran and had thought about suicide several times as an adult.  He received help through the Grace of God.  After realizing the need for help, he now has his doctorate degree and is helping others with depression.  Stay connected and find out in the weeks to come how his incredible testimony has changed his life and changed the life of others.  You can also go to  www.joshuasfriends.org and click on Your Best Life Now Counseling to find out more about getting help for yourself or a loved one.
