Understanding Depression

Depression is more than feeling sad. While depression can be triggered by feelings of sadness or unhappy events/situations, it is a condition of brain functioning that impacts one's overall psychological status and ability to cognitively process, emotionally respond on general basis and navigate life. This presentation will go over the causes and symptoms of depression and how to effectively cope with it. This program is presented by SupportLinc, Penn State's Employee Assistance Program, and sponsored by the Penn State Cares Employee Resource Group.
