Moving here caused me to fall into a depression that lasted for three years...I've realized that I need to be surrounded by green, and tucson is just rocks and dirt and ugly all over. I'm not alone either I've helped others deal with their depression after moving here. What about what I call Desert Depression…I live in Tucson, AZ.
