Feeling desperately sad can later become clinical depression. Depression impairs one’s ability to function due to high distress levels, severe mood swings, suicidal thoughts and, depending on the severity, suicidal plan.

Nearly two thirds of people with depression will not seek help nor has received proper treatment says NNDC.
