Depression: A Deeper Understanding
Number of pages:
12
ABSTRACT:
12 pages in length. The recent passage of a law to mandate better mental health insurance coverage and treatment begins a new journey in the decades-long struggle to provide appropriate care for those who are ashamed by the stigma of mental diseases like depression. The new law is unprecedented in its power to destigmatize society's impression of mental illness and finally treat it as any other type of physical disease. Clearly, depression is a major issue in today's population with millions of people suffering from its effects. Knowing firsthand how difficult and devastating depression can be, it is important for its causes, symptoms and types be understood by society as a whole. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
