Baby Boomers, Depression and Hepatitis C
« on: September 30, 2015, 02:03:07 pm »
In addition to having the highest rates of hepatitis C, baby boomers (folks born between 1945 and 1965) also have some of the highest suicide rates in the United States.

If you think about it, there are a lot of issues that increase the level of anxiety and depression people with hepatitis C are facing today, even more than before. Like: Will I be approved for the new medications by my insurance company? Will I be able to afford the co-pays? And after all that money, what if I am not cured?

Remember, depression, like hep C is an illness that is treatable. Click here for more information and resources on where to find help:
