The good news on beating the blues

Do you want the good, the bad, or the best news first? OK, the bad news is that an estimated 264+ million people worldwide suffer from a depressive illness. The good news is that we know how to defeat these illnesses better than ever before using a growing range of highly effective psychotherapies, medications, and other therapeutic methods that are improving all the time. And the best news: because of these advances, the majority of people no longer need to suffer the debilitating and sometimes dangerous effects of long-term depressive illness.

Armed in this way, you can take firmer steps toward the lifestyle changes as well as therapy or medication that will put you back in control.
