Did You Know?
"At some point in their lives, 10%-25% of women and 5%-12% of men will likely become clinically depressed. In fact, it affects so many people that it is often referred to as the "common cold" of mental illness. It is estimated that depression exacts an economic cost of over $30 billion each year, and 54% of them are faced with depression as teens."-Dr. Tedla w. Giorgis,
How Depression Affects Your Life
Depression is a global concern in which can impinge on anyone no matter their age, race, gender, or their socioeconomic status. Over 19 million Americans are pretentious affected by depression each year. Depression has the ability to change the way a person thinks, acts and even feels. Most people who are faced with depression begun to turn to drugs which some may eventually overdose or become addicted to for example; drinkers become alcoholics, others may even contemplate thoughts of suicide and some of these people to be exact 63% of them actually commit or attempt to go through with it. I believe if people can have someone to talk to about their problems such as a counselor that they wouldn’t have to turn to these other less healthy alternatives. There are a lot of ways at going at this issue I would do so by; First, of all I would air commercial persuading people that they should not let stress build up this, in knowing that stress rather it coming from work, a relationship with a companion or your children/ parents whatever may have it. When people are stress they tend to lose sleep and eventually fall into the second stage or depression stress being the first stage. Next, you should make ad and post bulletins that if a person is depressed they should reach out for help that there are people that they could talk to about the matter that they are faced with. Also, I believe that after this is done people will still not reach out to others most of these people who are in the state of depression won’t seek or reach out for help not saying that they are ashamed or they are in denial majority of them do however, believe that every thing will work out on it’s own or they don’t want help this is the case when people know they have a problem and they deal with it by turning to drug abuse. “After my mother died when I was 12 years old I begin smoking cigarettes” said Angie Angelou. In general, I want to be able to show people that they do have help out here and they are not alone even though they may be feeling that way.

What you can do to get help "IF needed"
Depression occurs more often and usually lasts longer in women.
This is so because, of the many hormonal factors in which can contribute to the increased rate of depression in women.
Commonly such factors as their menstrual cycle changes, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), pregnancy, miscarriage, postpartum period, perimenopause, and menopause.
Many women also face additional stresses such as responsibilities both at work and home, single parenthood, and caring for children and aging parents
After visiting this Website I am urging you to talk the people around you, who you may suspect are dealing with depression. Maybe you are that depressed person! If this is the case, you should go to someone that you believe you can trust for example; a family member or a friend, in which you can talk to. If there is a case that you have no one to talk to understanding the fact that you don't want someone who you don't even know, knowing your problems or personal information. However it is a fact, that 77% of the people who seek treatment or help for their depression they usually succumb over their period or drought of depression and are able to live healthy enjoyable lives that they had once lived before the depression crowded over them. It is most important that women seek treatment for illness.
