Depression, A disease that is killing many silently! Its even made worse now that the world moves too fast. everybody is so busy running here and there, chasing the bus. catching a taxi, making that money- yes everyone is too damm busy to notice that we have a disease that is amidst us.Interestingly this disease does not segregate. Paul Summergrad the president of the American Psychiatric Association, says it affects people across the spectrum.
Lets give it some thought before we dismiss it lightly. A new vision article published in May 12th 2012 indicated that 20 per cent of Ugandans have some degree of mental illness ranging from depression to severe madness.A world renowned actor Robin Williams popular for his role in Mrs. Doubtfire, Good Morning America battled with this disease. This clearly shows us that no one is exempt from this disease. Lets wake up and pay close attention to depression, a disease that is silently killing many in today's fast world.
