Depression, anxiety relief for residents starts in April BY GLORIA ALBRECHT
The Pyramid
Depression affects over 25% of our population, leads to other physical and social problems, is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and increases the chance of suicide. It costs businesses billions every year in
lost time, productivity and increases health care costs. The most common approach to treatment is medication which only treats the symptoms, not the underlying causes. Dr. Neil Nedley is a physician who has created a holistic approach to addressing the underlying causes
of depression and anxiety. Some of these causes are inadequate nutrition, dehydration, poor frontal lobe circulation, toxicity, and lifestyle. Dr. Nedley describes depression as a Constellation of Symptoms. If your body doesn’t have the nutrients necessary to build tissue or
provide the energy needed for thousands of different functions it’s going to affect how you feel emotionally. If your body is toxic, lacking exercise or dehydrated it can’t perform the functions necessary for physical and emotional health. These Constellation of Symptoms
are then diagnosed as depression. Unless these are addressed directly instead of just being masked by medication, they will continue to contribute to the condition we label as depression or anxiety. Please see DEPRESSION, Page A6

Calls to believe, not fear Missionary work and talks directed to youth fill Saturday session BY GENELLE PUGMIRE
Daily Herald
Elder Jeffrey R. Holland of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles was the first to address the second session telling the audience, particularly the youth, not to fear — to believe. “For nearly two years, a pandemic of biblical proportions has enveloped our planet, and while that plague brought a halt to almost everything socially, obviously, it did not bring a halt to brutality, violence, and cruel aggression politically,” Holland said. “As if that were not enough, we are still facing long-standing social and cultural challenges, ranging from economic deprivation to environmental desecration to racial inequity and more.” Holland noted that President Russell M. Nelson has said that this generation of young people has the capacity to have, “more impact (for good) on the world than any previous generation.” He added, “Our children are the trustees into whose hands the destiny of this church will be placed.” Holland taught that all have the light of
Christ and that all should recognize that. “Leaders, advisers, friends, family — watch for signs of depression, despair, or anything hinting of self-harm. Offer your help. Listen,” he pleaded. “Make some kind of intervention as appropriate. To any of our youth out there who are struggling, whatever your concerns or difficulties, death by suicide is manifestly not the answer. It will not relieve the pain you are feeling or see yourself causing.” “In a world that so desperately needs all the light it can get, please do not minimize the eternal light God put in your soul before this world was. Talk to someone. Ask for help. Do not destroy a life that Christ gave His life to preserve. You can bear the struggles of this mortal life because we will help you bear them. You are stronger than you think. Help is available, from others and especially from God. You are loved and valued and needed,” Holland added. Elder Patrick Kearon of the Seventy, added to Holland’s thoughts, saying, “Here are just a few of the powerful and comforting promises our family found. Imagine the Lord speaking these words to you — to you who are surviving — because they are for you: Fear not. I know your sorrows, and I have come to deliver you. I will not leave you. My name is upon you and my angels have charge over you. I will do wonders among you. Walk with
New General Authority Seventies
me; learn of me; I will give you rest. I am in your midst. You are mine.” Kearon spoke clearly to those who have been subject of abuse of any kind that they are not guilty, it is not their fault. “Though it may seem impossible, feel impossible, healing can come through the miracle of the redemptive might of the atonement of Jesus Christ, who is risen ‘with healing in his wings.’ Our merciful Savior, victorious over darkness and depravity, has power to right all wrongs, a life-giving truth for those wronged by others.” Kearon went on to say there is no place for abuse in the any home around the world, that no people “deserve” to be beaten. “The Lord Himself is crystal clear in His condemnation of abuse of any kind: ‘But whoso shall offend one of these little ones … it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea,’” Kearon said. Saying the worth of souls is great in the eyes of God, Elder Marcos A. Aidukaitis said, “You have been prepared from before this life and born now to participate in the great work of the gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil, in these latter-days.”
