Close Depression
Type: Seasonal Affective Disorder

Have had bouts of depression on and off for long time . I have suffered my lost of family in my life . My father was killed in WWII , I was 3months old 1945. My mother passed when I was 22 yrs old.I had stillborn child in 1975. My husband Ed was killed in auto crash 1981 , he was 38 and I was 36. Our 3 sons were 19,17 & 13 at the time. Only by God's grace and love did we move forward ...It took long time to move at all. I should have gotten counseling then. So much for hindsight.
