Seeking help is a sign of strength.
Depression isn’t just a bad day or feeling down—it’s a real medical condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It can impact the way you think, feel, and handle daily life. In fact, 1 in 6 Americans will experience major depression at some point, yet many don’t reach out for help.
Without treatment, depression can take a toll on both mental and physical health. It’s linked to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and even suicide. But the good news is that help is available, and with the right support, many people find relief and recovery.
If you’ve been struggling, know that you’re not alone. There are options to help you feel better, and reaching out is the first step.
