Facts about depression

Depression is quite common with over 16 million adults suffering from it every year. That's 6.7% of Americans. There are countless people out there suffering from it.

One sad fact about depression is only one-third of the number of people suffering from depression actually seek professional treatment. The other set of people that do not bother about treatment believe depression is not a serious illness which they can overcome by themselves. Some other people think it is a kind of body or mental weakness rather than a serious mental illness, so they do not bother seeking treatment and then it gets worse.
