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?
