By Andrea R. Garrison Depression is a disabling disease that affects millions of people every year. Depression shows no boundaries. It does not discriminate based on race, age, gender or socioeconomic status.
Depression statistically is higher in women though it is on the rise in men.
It affects everyone at some point. It is a common disease that can be very dangerous if it goes untreated. It is not a hopeless disease. With proper diagnosis and treatment people can triumph and lead very productive lives. On some level be it large or small all of us have experienced depression.
