“Depression is perhaps a difficult and unaddressed health challenge of our age that we have failed to recognize so far. It is a deep-seated thinking to observe “World Health Day 2017” with Depression: Let’s talk as the theme. According to the World Health Organisation, one in four of us will have a mental illness at some point in our lifetime.
