Depression hurts, but only half of Canadians* know
it
New survey results show few recognize the painful
physical symptoms of depression
About depression in Canada
During their lifetime about 1 in 10 people in Canada
will experience an episode of major depressive
disorder (the diagnosis given to those suffering
from depression). People from every age, social,
economic, occupational, cultural and religion groups
get depressed. A distinctive feature of depression
is the overwhelming feeling of isolation it causes.
Feeling 'alone' can lead to a sense of shame in
somehow being 'different' from others. Depression is
in fact a widespread medical condition.
TORONTO, July 12 /CNW/ -
Although the majority of
Canadians* believe in a mind/body connection,
agreeing how they feel physically is related to how
they feel emotionally (87 per cent), (i) only half
