According to the
World Health Organization
, depression is the leading cause of disability and the fourth leading contributor
to the global burden of disease. And it is projected to become even more significant.
Depression is thus a very common psychological problem but, thankfully, it responds
well to treatment.
In Britain, for example, in an average year approximately 3-4% of men and 7-8% of
women experience a depressive or mixed anxiety and depressive illness. This makes
it one of the most common illnesses in any developed economy; second only to heart
disease. It is more common and costly than cancer, alcoholism or any other 'physical'
illness.

no significant difference in benefit between patients on medication and those
not on medication.
