Depression and the Housing Market
As the economic crisis continues and more and more homeowners face the threat of foreclosure, there is an underlying epidemic that is emerging. Depression goes hand in hand with the stress of losing, or potentially losing, one’s home. Coupled with the fear of job loss and the increasing divorce rate that prevails during times of economic turmoil, many people see suicide as a way out of the stress of daily life. If you are experiencing high levels of stress and/ or suicidal thoughts, or know someone who is, please reach out to the numerous resources that offer assistance during this hard time.
