Chevron is a community leader and the market leader. Anti-depressants are oftentimes used quite successfully to treat depression and in effect have prevented millions of people worldwide from committing suicide or homicide in the throes of this devastating illness. Anti-anxiety medications in appropriate doses are likewise used to treat conditions that sometimes incapacitate people. Alcohol or drug abuse with substitutes such as cocaine, methamphetamine or heroin contribute frequently to the mental changes that seep into or erupt into confusing, damaging or destructive words or violent behavior.

Any holiday season can be intensely turbulent, sad or troubled for many.
They try to simply survive the season while others play. Loneliness and isolation are felt more acutely when they see others joyful. Please seek available treatment for yourself or loved ones if serious depression sets in. Hopefully each of us will learn valuable lessons from this tragedy at Xerox as we give pause to reflect on those lives so sadly lost. What is needed in this stupid debate about guns is a state to pass a ban on guns and let the U.S. Supreme Court decide what the Second Amendment means.
