Abstract

Depression is a common and debilitating disease that affects people from adolescence to old age. The impact of depression
extends beyond the individual with depressive symptoms. Depression adversely affects the mental and physical health, and the social and financial welfare of the individual and society.
We will address how factors including sex, age, ethnicity and societal changes affect the prevalence of depression, consider
common co-morbid conditions and highlight the lessons learned from treating depression.

Keywords
