Work is not a four-letter word
by SUSAN LAUTZ, LPC.
Well, okay, it is. What I mean to say is that work is not a CUSS word. In fact, having productive work to do is one of the best defenses against depression. Now sure, when people first slide into depression they are often incapable of working. They can’t get out of bed, can’t stop crying, see no point in doing ANYTHING. They hide at home and isolate themselves. They, in effect, put themselves in a full-body cast of avoidance as a way of dealing with their pain.
