Depression is a very common mental health condition.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 264 million people worldwide suffer from depression.
The prevalence of depression varies across different regions and countries, but it is estimated that around 5% of adults suffer from depression globally.
In some countries, the prevalence can be as high as 10% or more.
Women are more likely to experience depression than men, and the condition can affect people of all ages, from children to the elderly.
It is important to note that these statistics only represent reported cases, and the actual number of people suffering from depression may be higher due to underreporting and lack of access to mental health services.
