UnityPoint Health-Trinity is an affiliate of the larger health system UnityPoint Health. UnityPoint Health is a health system that spans across the entire state of Iowa and has branched out into parts of Illinois and Wisconsin.

THE INTRODUCTION The harshness of University life/studies can put severe physiological pressure on its students. Students having to juggle between work and school to meet both financial and academic requirements can be too much to bear alone. It is for this reason we wish to propose that a depression support group be set up to provide the necessary assistance for students in need. National Institute of Mental Health(NIMH) says that depression is a common but serious mood disorder.
History, types of depression, symptoms, and treatments are all equally important in finding ways to help one who is suffering from depression. As we look back in
I learned throughout the course of this class that there are many components to maintaining a state of well being and that health and wellness aren’t the same thing. I came to understand better the multiple categories of wellness that compose the broad subject in general. We also discussed the various attributes of physical wellness that range from the strength of the heart to the flexibility of our joints.

Umberto Eco in his book “Six Walks in the Fictional Woods” discusses several literature theories, which he originally told to students at the Harvard University. I, mostly, enjoyed reading it, because his vision of literature, his thoughts about books, authors, readers are different from mine, and that is one of the reasons why it is interesting. Of course, I did not understand everything, because Eco uses lots of unknown to me terminology and because of lack of experience from my side in literature and life.
