ANNOUNCER:  Here is an important message from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

DR. BENJAMIN:  Hello I’m Dr. Regina Benjamin, United States Surgeon General. For many Gulf Coast residents, the oil spill is a life-changing event.  A disaster like this can take a personal and financial toll, and leave you feeling sad, angry, depressed or simply stressed. 

If these feelings persist and interfere with your daily functioning, it is important to seek help for yourself or for someone you care about.
