About 280 million people around the world have depression.

In the United States alone, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) believes that 21 million American adults had at least one depressive episode since 2020, but 60 percent of people who have depression do not get professional help.

Depression explains that the disorder can affect anyone, regardless of their age, gender, or social background. People with depression suffer from a range of different symptoms—emotional and physical—and the disorder can be triggered by different causes, both physical and emotional too.

This book provides detailed scientific information about the disorder, from what causes it to symptoms, treatments, and cutting-edge research. It also explores what life is like day-to-day for people who live with depression and the coping strategies that help them.

This insightful title will provide readers with a thorough understanding of depression and help them develop a sensitivity toward those who experience it. It is also a source of invaluable information for people living with depression.
