Depressive disorder affects more than 300 million people all over the world, and is the main cause of disability. It has nothing to do with age or social conditions. Sadness, the loss of interest, or lack of concentration are some of the symptoms that characterise this illness. It can be treated, and if treatment is followed correctly, it can lead to a remission of the disorder. Medication and psychotherapy is the cornerstone of the treatment.
