Depression is a living and breathing disease. And with such staggering numbers that go as high as 300 million people suffering from depression globally, it’s one condition that needs to be addressed not only more often, but more openly as well. While there are a number of different forms of depression, generally, this incredibly common mental disease normally manifests in many of the same ways, they can be mild or severe and even short lived or prolonged, aside from having many other characteristics.
