Depression...It’s the world’s #1 cause of disability.
Over 300 million people around the globe suffer from depression. Of 20 people you know, one may have depression and five may have its symptoms.

Don’t let them fall apart. You can:

There is hope. There is a cure. Depression can be treated, especially if detected/diagnose and addressed earlier.
