Depressed in Shillong

Depression is a major problem the world over. Its even a problem among the students of Shillong. Normally people would go to a trained psychologist or psychiatrist but thanks to the fundies this is not always possible. Their solution to every problem is pray to Jebus, go outside and play, (Insert favourite fundie solution). Depression is treatable if you get the proper help from a qualified professional, they are available in Shillong and they aren't expensive.


Depression can affect anyone, just because you suffer from it does not mean you are unworthy of being loved or aren't good enough or weak. Don't drown yourself in  booze, drugs or self hurt. You aren't helping yourself. Depression can be treated witha wide variety of ways either through medication, counselling or biofeedback. Don't self medicate.
