Depression


I had a stroke a year and a half ago and have lots of depression, I was very active, employed etc.. It is a big deal, we may look and "act" like are ok but we are not. I am only 50, I was 48, we are not able to do what we did. Support groups help but patience by our family/caregiver is crucial. Some days are good , some in a row not. Multitasking not so good. Please get as much info as possible, never knew how much people don't want to see. Naps are important.
