Feeling depressed and having depression
With such extreme side effects, one would hope that the 10% of American adults with depression would make solid efforts to seek help. Sadly, though, the video states that “according to the National Institute of Mental Health, it takes the average person suffering with a mental illness over 10 years to ask for help.” (Turns out, asking for help is not that easy to do.) This poses a challenge to mental health professionals; after all, they’re working hard to explore new options for depression treatment, but when simply finding and choosing the right resources can be so overwhelming, many sufferers won’t even get access to innovative treatments that are established.
