Depression
|
Depression and anxiety have been the number one reason for visiting a doctor in Scotland since 2004. Currently, at least 1 in 7 people in Scotland suffer from either condition and it is estimated that 1 in 4 people will suffer one or both of these conditions in their lifetime. Until recently, people have wrongly concluded that depression and anxiety were restricted to people who are weak willed, had a bad attitude or a challenging life. The truth is, depression and anxiety are medical conditions that are widespread, rapidly increasing and can affect absolutely anyone.

If you have depression, don't ignore it. Statistics show that it is unlikely to go away by itself, infact, without help, the chances are it will debilitate you for a prolonged period. Too many people try to hide their depression from everyone. Eventually, it can be too much to bare and you could do something you regret to escape the pain, like world class footballer Gary Speed, who took his own life in 2011, or comedian & actor Robin Williams, who ended his long battle with depression the same way. Talk to someone you trust, we would recommend your doctor and start the road to recovery today. You can recover and get your life back. This website is full of information and tips to help you.
