Depression is a major illness worldwide and is one of the main reasons for disability. 350 million people globally suffer from this ailment. Depression is not a mere irregularity like flu but can bring long-term side effects if left untreated. The saddest part is that women are more prone to depression than men.

A place to lick my wounds.
