Linda Franklin
Every person is entitled to the biggest portion of true happiness that can come his or her way, regardless of the season. Whether it comes as the result of heredity or weather, poor diet habits or disappointments, depression is a very real threat to contentment. the lack of sunlight during these short days leading into spring can be one complicating factor for in those who struggle with ‘the blues’.
Don’t lose hope! There is a recovery program coming soon to Tumbler Ridge that’s designed by Dr. Neil Nedley, MD, for those who: 1) suspect they may be suffering needlessly, 2) need help identifying specific symptoms, 3) are anxious to know what they can do to improve their quality of life. The program will be held on each Tuesday in February.
