#Depression #PreventSuicide #SuicideHelp

Depression can come in various forms and it can affect everyone differently. There are six common types of depression.

1. Major Depressive Disorder
2. Persistent Depressive Disorder
3. Bipolar Disorder
4. Seasonal Depression
5. Postpartum Depression
6. Psychotic Depression -- 25% of people who are admitted to a hospital due to depression are diagnosed with this type of depression.

Even without knowing the types of depression, everyone in the family is affected. A mother wishes she could understand her son. A father, wishing he knew how to help his daughter. A sibling feeling like they are losing their best friend. These relationships are all different, however, depression affects them all! We have the support for all of you, and we're here to help.

The JEM Foundation was founded in memory of Jacob Edward Machovsky who was lost to suicide on January 11, 2016. We exist to honor him by helping others.

Our mission to improve the lives of those struggling with mental illness, while providing support for loved ones.

Our purpose is to prevent suicide and end the stigma of mental illness. We know these are lofty goals, but we also know that darkness can't stand the light. People's perceptions about mental health need to change. People need to understand this is an illness, and it isn’t something you can just snap out of it.
