Depression is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel the way
you think and how you act. Depression causes feelings of sadness and loss of interest in activities
once enjoyed. They are the great submerged problem, which shame keeps out of sight. But if you
mention them, you soon discover how many families are affected. According to research, one in
six of us would be diagnosed as having depression or chronic anxiety disorder, which means that
one family in three is affected. Depression might cause numerous undesirable personal and
professional consequences. Fortunately, it is also treatable. Now we have evidence-based
psychological therapies that can lift at least a half of those affected out of their depression. The
goal of this research is to obtain a baseline understanding of the general public’s perceptions of
depression and to capture the experiences of people living with depression.
