The World Health Organization predicts that by 2030 more people worldwide will be affected by depression than by any other health condition. Some of us may have jobs that are dealing with this epidemic and there is no escape from it’s reality.
The world has become a different place and I have to remind myself of this when I enter into the doors of my workplace. Why are so many people dealing with emotional disorders and depression?
Here are some facts you may want to look at:
About half of mental disorders begin before the age of 14
Around 20% of the world’s children and adolescents are estimated to have mental disorders or problems
Most low- and middle-income countries have only one child psychiatrist for every 1 to 4 million people
About 800,000 people commit suicide every year, 86% of them in low- and middle-income countries
More than half of the people who kill themselves are aged between 15 and 44
The highest suicide rates are found among men in eastern European countries

As a healthcare worker I am learning to change my attitude about mental illness. Everyone knows someone who is depressed and something has gone wrong with our emotions.
In integrative therapies of mental health you will find ways to manage brain biochemistry by adding Nutritional Management, Laughter Therapies, Mind-Body Medicines, Acupuncture, Meditation, Adding Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acids, Improving Sleep and much more.
I am reading a book called Spontaneous Happiness , by Andrew Weil, MD. In this book I am learning that happiness is an internal state of well-being regardless of the ups and downs. It’s not about what we have or don’t have.
Please share this with someone you know who may be suffering. There is hope!
