This observance works to bring awareness to the need for depression awareness and the need for accessible and affordable mental health screenings. A number of different factors can often come into play with depression that can include a mix of environmental, genetic, psychological, and biological /biochemical components. Not everyone experiences depression in the same way, but it can affect anyone at any time.
Major depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, affecting 6.7% (more than 16 million) of American adults each year.
Take an online depression screening. MHA’s screening tools are free, anonymous, and confidential.
