Depression is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States, affecting 1 in 10 adults and over 18 million people. Depression is the leading cause of disability among people ages 15-44 (Hope for Depression). Severe depression is rated in the same disability category as terminal stage cancer. (World Health Organization)
Adults with untreated depression are more likely to have trouble with school, jobs, and relationships. They are more likely to develop substance abuse problems and engage in risky sexual behaviors. Depression increases the risk of many types of physical health problems, including diabetes, heart disease, and stroke (Center for Disease Control).
Not only that, but untreated depression is the number one cause of suicide, with a successful suicide being completed every 12 minutes (National Institute of Mental Health)
It is vital that you recognize the signs and symptoms of depression and get help. The Family Therapy Clinic is here to guide you on the right path towards healing.
