Depression Awareness A Casualty Of A Failing Healthcare System
Here is an interesting article on depression suggesting that the awareness of depression is failing because of the health care system.
The article goes on to say, “Depression has become a spreading stain saturating our society. Close to 10% of the population will suffer from one form of depression or another. The result will trigger a ripple effect through families, businesses and everyday life. The backwash will claim relationships, quality of life, loss of income, and medical hardships. It will even result in the loss of life.”
Depression is certainly a disease of our culture and society in the west but we dont have the exclusive rights to is and many people across the world are affected by it every day. Our society and culture simply make things a hell of a lot worse. We complicate our lives, we focus on material ownership as if it makes a fundamental difference to our wellbeing.
resolving the issue of the large amount of depression in our society starts with changing ourselves as individuals from the inside-out. getting good therapy to enable us to understand ourselves properly and getting ourselves some priority on well-being rather than consumerism.
