All worries will pass.

Mountains do not change but water does.

The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, but there is no way out, and the willows are dark and the flowers are bright in another village.

The theme of World Health Day 2017 is depression.

What is depression?

Depression is a disorder characterized by persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy, and an inability to engage in daily activities. Last for at least two weeks.

In addition, people with depression often experience some of the following symptoms: decreased energy; changes in appetite; more or less sleep; anxiety; decreased concentration; indecision; restlessness; feelings of worthlessness, guilt, or hopelessness ; and thoughts of self-harm or suicide.

Groups severely affected by depression

Depression can affect anyone. So this campaign is for everyone, regardless of age, gender or social status. At the World Health Organization, we have chosen to focus particularly on three groups that are severely affected: adolescents and young adults; women of childbearing age (especially after childbirth) and people over 60 years old.

Common sense about depression

1. Depression is a common mental illness that affects people of all ages in all countries and from all walks of life.

2. Poverty; unemployment; certain life events (such as the death of a loved one or the breakdown of a relationship); physical illness and problems caused by alcohol and drug abuse can increase the risk of depression.

3. Depression causes mental distress and can make it difficult for people to perform even the simplest of daily tasks, and can sometimes completely destroy relationships with family and friends.

4. Untreated depression may prevent people from engaging in work and participating in family and community life.

5. The worst consequence of depression is that it may lead to suicidal behavior.

6. Depression can be effectively prevented and treated. Treatment often includes talk therapy, antidepressant medication, or a combination of both.

7. Overcoming the stigma often associated with depression will help more people get help.

8. Talking to someone you trust can be the first step in recovering from depression.

Depression affects people of all ages and from all walks of life in all countries, causing mental anguish and making it difficult to carry out even the simplest of daily tasks, sometimes completely destroying relationships with family and friends and the ability to earn a living. The worst consequence of depression is that it may lead to suicidal behavior, which is currently the second leading cause of death among people aged 15-29.

However, depression can be prevented and treated. A better understanding of what depression is and how it can be prevented and treated will help reduce the stigma associated with the condition, prompting more people to seek help.
