Depression is very common in the general population. The lifetime prevalence of depression is 15-20% globally. This means that up to 20% of all people get clinically depressed sometime within their lifetime. That’s about 1 out of every 5 people.

Depression can be dangerous.

When people get depressed, they feel tired and without energy, feel overwhelmed by small things, lose their appetite, lose weight, experience negative thinking like worthlessness or guilt, feel hopeless or helpless, experience anxiety, and may even feel that it would be better off if they were not around or feel outright suicidal.
