Before you can treat depression you have to know exactly what you are dealing with. Depression is no laughing matter because about 15 million people in America suffer from it. The most troubling aspect is that only about 1/3 of those people seek help. It’s the stereotypes associated with mental illness that plague far too many people. Their character is so important that they don’t want a label like “crazy” to tarnish it. To treat depression first it has to be diagnosed. Diagnosis doesn’t happen while the sufferer hides the problem. It’s a vicious circle.
