Depression Website for Students

A new site has been set up to raise awareness of the symptoms of depression so students are more likely to be able to spot them in their friends. This site www.studentdepression.org/ states February as a crisis month for many students, due to financial stress and exam concerns. Have a browse, particularly if you are concerned about someone. Be aware that things such as irregular sleep patterns, and increased irritability are depression symptoms, it's not all about the crying and suicidal thoughts. The more informed you are, the more likely you are to be able to spot those who are struggling and give help. An article about this site and depression is here.
