Around 75% of people who have mental health disorders remain untreated in developing countries, according to the American Psychological Association (APA), taking a million lives each year. In the US, 7.1% of American adults have had at least one major depressive episode. Per the World Health Organization, depression is the leading disability in the world.
All these statistics show us two things. First, that depression is prevalent globally. And second, that even with how common it is, the available counseling services and other measures in place to combat this do not seem to be enough people to keep people from all parts of the world from suffering.
But all hope is not lost. You can help other people, too, and it starts here, right now, by educating yourself about mental health.
As such, we at More About You Inc., as a provider of behavioral health services in Wilmington, Delaware, have listed down the tell-tale signs of depressions you should pay attention to:
- No motivation to get up in the morning
- Feelings of low that won’t go away
- Problems concentrating and making simple decisions
- Losing interest in hobbies and activities you used to love

- Experiencing physical symptoms, such as back pain, digestive issues, and headaches
