From time to time, I volunteer at a local senior’s complex. They depend on volunteers to help out to make meals, entertain and teach classes. I have been volunteering there for a number of years now, and I have recently been appointed to help out the seniors order their medication.
Now, I never realized that so many seniors suffer from depression. But you would be amazed at the number of times I order Zoloft, purchase generic Prozac and get Paxil online. It seems that every week I am ordering some sort of anti-depressant for someone.
Lately, we have installed a computer room in one of the spare suites to help “cheer up” our patrons. Not only do we offer classes on computer use, but they also have access to the Internet. We have found that most of those seniors that have used the computers and that suffer from depression have benefited from the use of them.
So, even though many of our seniors have depression, we are making progress. I hope in the coming years, I could order anti-depressants maybe twice a week – that would reassure us that we are doing a good job.
