World Health Day Spotlights Depression
By Laura Greenstein | Apr. 05, 2017

 Imagine every action you take—big and small—requires incredible mental and physical energy. Energy you lack due to sleep problems and continuous fatigue. You can’t concentrate. You don’t feel like doing anything, but you also feel bad for not being productive. You internalize these feelings and dislike yourself more and more. You feel numb to things you used to enjoy. You feel hopeless that anything good will happen in your life. And you start to question whether continuing to live is worth the constant despair.

This is how it feels to have clinical depression. And unfortunately, more and more people are experiencing depression worldwide. According to The World Health Organization (WHO), depression:

has increased by over 18% between 2005 and 2015,
is currently the number one cause of disability, and
is predicted to be the number one global burden of disease by 2030.
