According
to the WebMD an estimated 19 million American adults are living with
depression. Approximately 80% of people
who get treated for depression say that it has helped them. Depression is a medical condition like
diabetes or high blood pressure and should be treated and not ignored. 30% of women are depressed and 92% of African
American males do not seek any treatment.
Why is that? Maybe because we do
not believe that depression is a “real” disease.
