CAMPUS BLUES?
The Student Health Center can be a
good starting point if you think you
may need help with depression. Our
nurses and counselors are familiar
with the symptoms of depression,
and can help you decipher if what
you are experiencing is more than
just a case of the blues. We also can
provide help finding the appropriate
sources for help. If you are experiencing the following symptoms, consider
making an appointment through the
Health Center to talk to one of our
staff about your situation. Call 4796435 for an appointment.

• Had thoughts that you would be better
off dead, or of hurting yourself.
• Little interest or pleasure in doing things
you normally enjoy.
• Feeling down, depressed, or hopeless.
• Trouble falling or staying asleep, or
sleeping too much.
• Feeling tired or having little energy.
• Poor appetite or overeating.
• Feeling bad about yourself—or that you
are a failure.
• Trouble concentrating on things.
• Moving or speaking so slowly that other
people have noticed. Or the opposite—
being so fidgety that you cannot sit still.
