Having a full knowledge of the different symptoms that points out a person is depressed will help you identify depression in you or your loved ones. WHO stats showed an average of 3.8% of the world is affected by depression, and depression is not gender or age-biased, though women experience it more because of the hormonal changes in their bodies.

Also, older adults are more prone to depression than younger generations. That said, these factors do not erase the fact that depression is a common illness to all and sundry, and as a result, it should not be taken with levity. It should be considered as a serious issue that should be dealt with because it also leads to having a negative perception of one’s image.
