Chat and Chew: An Honest Look at Depression and Cancer

• How do I know if I am depressed?
• Do you feel hopeless?
• Have you lost interest in spending time with others?
• Are you struggling with daily tasks?
• Do you sleep too much or lay awake throughout the night?

Join us as Nicole Perr, MSW, LCSW, Behavioral Health Social Worker at MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper, as she answers these questions and facilitates an open discussion about depression and cancer. 

No matter where you are in your journey – newly diagnosed, in treatment, post-treatment, facing metastases and/or recurrence, depression can affect all survivors. During this free webinar, you are invited to share your own thoughts or just listen.
