Anxiety disorders are less common but just as serious as depression, which can have a profound impact on a person’s mood, thinking, and behavior. Depression is characterized by low mood and a lack of interest in formerly pleasurable activities; it can worsen into a host of psychological and physiological issues that make it difficult to go about one’s daily life.

 

Depression is invisible; it can strike anyone, even those who seem to have everything under control. Mild or severe manifestations of this condition are possible. The risk of suicide increases if this medical issue is left untreated.

Women are disproportionately impacted by depression, which affects about 16% of the population. Many young individuals, including people of all ages, have been affected by mental illness and its tragic consequences.

Tragically, a young doctor took her own life, and her death was ruled a suicide. Twitter user @amo kodesh recently posted a photo of her online.

She also posted the following message beside the link:

Many people are struggling internally but putting on a brave front to the world. On the one hand, well-meaning bystanders wonder why their friends and family members aren’t more forthcoming about their struggles.
