Top Five Mental Health Challenges Menacing Society - Unmasking the Reality
January 11, 2024
Depression is a grave mental health concern that plagues societies globally. It is often termed the 'invisible epidemic' because its effects, while devastating, are not as apparent as physical illnesses. Depression can trigger feelings of hopelessness, lethargy, and even suicidal thoughts. The most disconcerting aspect is the stigma associated with it, causing many sufferers to limit their disclosure and avoid seeking help.
This illness does not distinguish between demographics; it can affect anyone—rich or poor, young or old. Unfortunately, research shows that the pressures of modern society, such as job stress, financial problems, and social isolation, may increase the risk of depression.
