(BPT) - Sadness and grief are normal human
emotions. These feelings can often last
for a short period of time. However, when
these emotions last for many days or weeks,
depression becomes a concern.
According to the American Psychiatric Association,
depression is a common and serious
medical illness that negatively affects how you
feel, the way you think and how you act. Fortunately,
depression is among the most treatable
of mental disorders. Between 80 percent and
90 percent of people with depression eventually
respond well to treatment. Almost all patients
gain some relief from their symptoms.
According to the National Institute of Mental
Health, an estimated 16.2 million adults in the U.S.
have had at least one major depressive episode in
a given year. In fact, according to a report from
the National Center for Health Statistics an
estimated 8.1 percent of adults age 20 and older
had depression in a given 2-week period during
2013-2016. Of those affected by depression, 80
percent reported having at least some difficulty
managing work, home and social activities.
In the past, stigma surrounding depression
caused some people to avoid seeking help. As
celebrities, musicians, and even politicians speak
out about their own struggles with depression,
people have felt empowered to take the steps
to find the help they need.
Symptoms of Depression
It can be difficult to know when feeling
down is turning into something more concerning.
According to the Anxiety and Depression
Association of America, a major depressive
episode may include some of these symptoms:
• Persistent sad, anxious or “empty” mood
• Feelings of hopelessness
• Feelings of guilt, worthlessness or helplessness
• Restlessness, irritability
• Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies
• Decreased energy
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering or
making decisions
• Insomnia, early-morning awakening or
oversleeping
• Low appetite and weight loss, or, overeating
and weight gain
• Thoughts of death or suicide
• Persistent physical symptoms that do not
respond to treatment (such as headaches,
digestive disorders and pain for which no
other cause can be diagnosed)
Three Steps that Can Help
People experiencing some or all of these
symptoms can take action by following these
three steps.
Step 1: Get screened by a qualified mental
health expert. Depression can only be diagnosed
by a health care professional who has special
assessments and tools to make the appropriate
diagnosis.
Step 2: Talk to your healthcare provider about
a treatment plan. Depression can be managed
with the right treatment options. A healthcare
provider can determine the strategy that works
best for you. Common treatment plans may
include psychotherapy and medication.
Step 3: Follow a treatment plan closely and
take medications as prescribed. Abruptly stopping
medications may cause withdrawal symptoms
that could worsen depression. If you are uninsured
or your health insurance doesn’t cover the
medications you need, there are programs that
can help. For example, the Inside Rx program is
a free prescription savings program that could
save an average of 40 percent off select brandname
medications and 80 percent off retail price
on generic medications. You can check the
price of medications, and terms and restrictions
like eligibility requirements, at InsideRx.com.
Depression doesn’t discriminate. It impacts
all races, ages and genders. Take these first
steps to help manage your symptoms. Keep in
mind, if you are ever feeling suicidal thoughts,
call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline
at 1-800-273-8255 immediately. •

DILLARD
CASE NO. 18STPB02478
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent
creditors, and persons who may otherwise be
interested in the WILL or estate, or both of
CLEMENTHA "CLEMETHA" MARIE DILLARD.
A PETITION FOR PROBATE has been filed
by ALEX R. BORDEN in the Superior Court of
California, County of LOS ANGELES.
THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests
that ALEX R. BORDEN be appointed as
personal representative to administer the estate
of the decedent.
THE PETITION requests authority to administer
the estate under the Independent Administration
of Estates Act . (This authority will allow the
personal representative to take many actions
without obtaining court approval. Before taking
certain very important actions, however, the
personal representative will be required to give
notice to interested persons unless they have
waived notice or consented to the proposed
action.) The independent administration authority
will be granted unless an interested person
files an objection to the petition and shows
good cause why the court should not grant
the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held in
this court as follows: 12/14/18 at 8:30AM in
Dept. 67 located at 111 N. HILL ST., LOS
ANGELES, CA 90012
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition,
you should appear at the hearing and state
your objections or file written objections with the
court before the hearing. Your appearance may
be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent
creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim
with the court and mail a copy to the personal
representative appointed by the court within the
later of either (1) four months from the date of
first issuance of letters to a general personal
representative, as defined in section 58(b) of
the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days
from the date of mailing or personal delivery
to you of a notice under section 9052 of the
California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority
may affect your rights as a creditor. You may
want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable
in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the
court. If you are a person interested in the
estate, you may file with the court a Request
for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of
an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of
any petition or account as provided in Probate
Code section 1250. A Request for Special
Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Proposals shall be received in the office of
the Hawthorne School District, Purchasing
Department at 13021 S. Yukon Ave., Hawthorne,

time and place. Any proposals received after

There will be a mandatory Pre-Vendor’s
Conference and Job Walk on November

Yukon Ave, Hawthorne, CA 90250. Any
Vendor bidding on the project who fails to
attend the entire mandatory Pre-Vendor’s
conference and Job Walk will be deemed
as a non-responsive vendor and will have its
proposal returned unopened. Allocate extra
time due to parking restrictions in the area.
The Vendors shall be licensed pursuant to State
of California Regulations, California Business
and Professions Code, and maintain such
license during the term of the contract, and
mutually agreed upon renewals. No Proposal

No Vendor shall withdraw its bid Proposal for
a period of ninety (90) days after the award of
the contract by the District’s Board of Trustees.
During this time, all Vendors shall guarantee
prices quoted in their respective proposals.
The District reserves the right to reject any

by the action of the District’s Board of Trustees
to the Vendor that meets the qualifications
established by the RFP documents. Please
note, this RFP is for maintenance, consumable
supplies, and repair services of the District’s
existing equipment fleet and management of

lease of new equipment.

least fourteen (14) days before the bid opening
date. The District will respond at its earliest

responsible for ensuring their written inquiry is
received prior to this deadline and the District
is not responsible for any delays or errors in
delivery. The District will issue responses

provided therein into their Proposal.
