Has anyone dealt with elderly parents (early 60s) who is suffering from mild depression? How do you help them cope if they don’t really have any hobbies?

Yep. If you live nearby, go on walks with them.

Depression can be a result of lack of social connection and support, imbalance in the brain, or traumatic event. They need something new to get them out of their comfort zone. Maybe buy them a already highly trained dog and get them training lessons with the dog

Depends on what’s leading to depression. If they are depressed because of lack of social interaction, then the best way is to help them find like minded folks of their age (groups, communities, etc.). My parents have a very wide social circle and they are almost always busy even though they don’t have any “hobbies” per se. You personally won’t ever have enough time to give to them, helping introduce them to other folks is the way to go

If the cause of depression is something else or unclear, the first thing to do is to take them to a psychiatrist (not a psychologist).

How happy are you that Warrior has been renewed for s3?

It's a great show that shines a light on the tapestry of Asian discrimination that has been swept under the rug until only recently.

S3 will be filled with heartache and heartbreak because that's what our ancestors have had to deal with... I for one cannot wait to see that part of our history be brought into the spotlight and our people being celebrated as pioneers that they are.

What would you do?

I went & took a pic of the car to send to the HOA & she came out & said “she’s moving her car you stupid ass B.” The hostility, poor manners & ghetto demeanor is just so off-putting.
