Depression can show up in families in subtle ways, sometimes with small changes in behavior that slowly start to create concerns. One of the most common questions that I get is, “how can I get a loved one to see a doctor/therapist?” In the most recent episode of the pod, I speak with Dr. Valerie Cordero, Co-Executive Director at Families for Depression Awareness and a prominent voice for suicide prevention, mental health parity, and health equity. We discuss the issue of mental health concerns within families. Check out Families for Depression Awareness at https://www.familyaware.org/ for online resources for how to help your family members.
If you or someone that you know is struggling with thoughts of suicide, call 911 or 988 for help in the US or activate the emergency services in your area.
