Depression
“Approximately 18.8 million American adults, or about 9.5 percent
of the United States population age 18 and older in a given year, have
a depressive disorder. Nearly twice as many women (12.0 percent) as
men (6.6 percent) are affected by a depressive disorder each year.
These figures translate to 12.4 million women and 6.4 million men in
the United States.” —National Institute of Mental Health
