Depression

Depression (also known as Major Depressive Disorder), is one of the most common mental health disorders in the United States.

Depression affects people of all ages, races, ethnicities, and genders. Depression can happen to anyone, especially if you have experienced severe loss or abuse, or have encountered other stressful situations. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (nimh.gov), women are diagnosed more often than men, but men are less likely to recognize the signs and symptoms, thus are at a greater risk of their depression symptoms being undiagnosed and going untreated.
