Lonely Man Wants Authorities To Let Him Live In Prison
This just makes us sad. A lonely man wants authorities to let him in to prison. Prison officials aren’t going for it.
Most people try their best to never go to prison but this guy wants back in. According to Oddity Central, a 60 year old Spanish man has been standing outside a prison for over two months trying to get in. He claims he is super lonely and he is sick. Some of his problems he says, are cancer, depression, anxiety and heart problems.
Justo Marquez has been in prison before for drug charges but says he has been clean for the past thirty years. He says prison is the best place for him right now to combat his loneliness. The warden says no way but Justo says he will continue standing outside the gates til he is allowed in. Bless his heart! We hope he finds a better solution soon.

Study Finds South Carolina Has One Of The Most Depressed Cities In The US
Depression and mental health are huge issues plaguing our society both locally and nationally. According to the World Health Organization, “Depression is a common mental disorder. Globally, it is estimated that 5% of adults suffer from the disorder. It is characterized by persistent sadness and a lack of interest or pleasure in previously rewarding or enjoyable activities.” According to a study commissioned by CEUfast South Carolina has one of the most depressed cities in the United States.
CEUfast is an accredited continuing education program for nursing professionals. To conduct this study, researchers at CEUfast.com analyzed numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to identify the most depressed cities in the United States. The data used is based on the number of residents who have been diagnosed with a form of depression. They went on to say that approximately 40 million adults in the US have been diagnosed with depression or anxiety disorders. And unfortunately with the prevalence of social media teenagers and even children are experiencing these illnesses at an alarming rate.
And while as a society we have made great strides in reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, we still have a ways to go. Discussions are more prevalent but access to resources still needs significant attention.
