Once again the OSU Student Health Services is scheduling Hepatitis B clinics. In the next few days, P1 students should receive a Hepatitis B immunization form in the mail. People say college is supposed to be great, but many students feel like they are just out of it, disconnected, and alone. They feel sad, trapped by inertia, hopeless, and not up to the challenge of college. If you feel this way and can't shake yourself out of it no matter what you do, you might be suffering from clinical depression.
Depression is more than just a bad day, the result of a bad grade or anxiety about the future.
It is a treatable disorder that can leave you feeling so bad that you forget how it feels to feel good. Participants will be able to fill out a quick self-test and talk anonymously with a counselor about their personal situation. Even if you don't have depression and are just going through a couple of bad days, you are invited to come take advantage of the program and learn about what services are available on campus. You may learn something that will help you or a friend or roommate in the future. The screenings and information sessions are being held October 5 from 10 am to 3 pm in MU 212.
