Over 1 in 6 persons in the United States are currently receiving treatment for depression, which is the highest rate ever.

Following the pandemic, analysts have noticed a continuous rise in depression, which they blame to social isolation, fear of illness, loneliness, and weariness.

According to statistics, those who are 18 to 44 years old have the largest risk of developing depression. Approximately one-third of those polled had received a diagnosis at some point in their lives.

According to experts, more incidences of depression are likely due to increasing understanding of their symptoms and methods of treatment.
