Depression. You know somebody whose house is a mess. They're filled with anxiety, gloom, sadness, misery, worry, and sorrow. The trouble with depression is you want to help, but you can't change someone else. Today on Ask a House Cleaner we dig into compassion and helping vs. enabling. Angela Brown, The House Cleaning Guru covers mild depression to severe depression. "Get clear about your reasons for helping." Yes, you can volunteer, but you're still dealing with mental health and neglect. It's a classic case of desperation meets good Samaritan. They have to want to change and they may not want your help or maybe they just don't care. THIS SHOW WAS SPONSORED BY SAVVY CLEANER - House Cleaner Training and Certification.
