Depression is a mental health condition which causes far too much suffering. Each year, this devastating illness affects approximately one in 15 adults, and it is estimated that one-in-six people will experience a form of depression at some point in their lives.

Unfortunately, it is also a condition which far too many people succumb to after years of fighting.
