Whelehans pharmacy depression talk this week in mullingar

Depression is not choosy about who it affects; it can strike anyone at any-time. Education can really help; learning simple facts about depression can help us prevent it’s onset as well as recover quicker if it does strike. Ignoring facts about depression makes us more prone and less likely to seek help.
