Today Is National Depression Screening Day; Get Tested Early To Avoid Risk

Today is National Depression Screening Day and it is the right time to take a small test to know the risk of depression in you.

The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said about 10 percent of the Americans deal with depression and it is surprising to know many of them who are suffering don’t know whether they have such a suffering.

It is learned the aging or stress are nothing but the misplaced answers for some symptoms of depression, and in some cases the condition can be tragic.

Most of the employers does not address the problem even it is a fact that many business leaders believe mental health issues should be discussed only in private conversation between therapist and employee.

It is evident the mental health affects workplace performance greatly. The researchers at the University of Michigan’s Depression Center said the condition is treatable.

According to a report by National Institute of Health, the improvements of treatment can be seen within four to six weeks. The best way to overcome is to have the screening and take the opportunity of the National Depression Screening Day. Have an open conversation about the problem in general and this may reduce the stigma.
