yea try this too
 
Well.....I do know that depression is very common among the dhh population. One thing that really helped me was learning to accept my disabilty as a part of myself. I grew up seeing my hearing loss as an "impairment"......a barrier to sucess, rather then as part of myself, that I could adapt to. That's why I find the Deaf culture so cool. It's something FUN and unique....it also helps with relationship skills b/c we don't have to worry about how hearing people will perceive us due to our voice etc. You know, I kinda wish I'd majored in psychlogy so I could be a counselor to the dhh population.....I really do think that a lot of oral and mainstreamed kids tend to be really emoitionally fucked up due to bad experiances, and that's a population that is underserved.
