If you answered "yes" to five or more of these statements, and you have felt this way every day for several weeks, there is a good chance you are suffering from depression and would benefit from contacting MOLAP at 573-638-2262 to make an appointment to see us.
If you answered "yes" to the last statement, you should seek help immediately, regardless of your answer to any other question. 988 is the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
