Lissett Munoz
Hi, my name is Lissett Munoz. I am hispanic and currently enrolled in Miami Dade College. My major is currently undecided; however I do have an interest in literature, math, and dance. While I have absolutely no idea as to what I want to do in my life I do want to be able to make a difference. Instead of having a nine to five job, I want a career that gives me both a greater sense of accomplishment and financial independence. The reason for choosing the topic of depression for my website is because I feel that depression is often misunderstood.
Depression has always been viewed as either a result of emotional distress or a chemical imbalance. With today’s economy and wars I feel that depression has become more mainstream affecting millions of lives, and for some has become a way of life as they struggle to survive. It is important to detect depression early on in order to avoid the possibility of the individual turning to suicide or substance abuse. It is also important to treat depression properly and to provide the tools necessary for the individual to cope with stress and daily life functions. Depression is not something that only affects the individual; it also affects their loved ones. Effective overall treatment must include family support to ensure the person is able to work through their struggle and to prevent depression from affecting their loved ones as well.
