Online depression screening test


Reading Time: < 1 minute
 

Depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide, and is a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease

Over five crore Indians are said to be suffering from major depressive disorder. Depression is  a major contributor to loss of quality of life among young people. It is also a major contributor to the number of lives lost due to suicide. Despite such serious consequences, most people fail to realize the importance on diagnosing and treating depression and other major mental illnesses. Even those who are clinically depressed often fail to seek help due a lack of awareness and  the stigma associated with the suffering from a mental illness.

According to WHO (World health organization) figures, the total cases of depressive disorders in 2015 in India were 5,66,75,969

 

People fail to realize that depression is an illness and that it can definitely be treated. It isn’t a weakness of the mind or a wrong way of perceiving things.
