When Your Depression Needs a Session
Mental illness is finally receiving attention and respect, but it took severe consequences to make many realize the seriousness of mental health conditions. For one, depression, one of the top causes of disability in our country, should no longer be viewed as just sadness.
Here are some other facts about depression:
Over 16 million Americans suffer from depression
Over 12 million women suffer from depression
Still, depression is overlooked and viewed as a normal phase in life. It is left untreated with the belief that it will get better over time. But the consequences of this approach are too hard to ignore.
Depression impairs memory due to a part of the brain shrinking. Untreated depression costs approximately 1 trillion in lost productivity annually. Ultimately, all untreated mental health conditions do not only hurt you physically and mentally, but also have damaging effects on your finances!
Worried that you won’t be able to tell the difference between depression and sadness?
Here are some of the symptoms of depression:
Changes in appetite
Constant sadness and/or crying
Isolating from friends/family
