  • A CDC study estimated that around 15% of Americans will be clinically depressed at some point in their lives.

    That figure surprised me, since I thought it would be higher.

    • Wut? That sounds extremely low. Maybe that's just the ones that actually get diagnosed?

    • to be honest I wouldn't trust no research on the matter, or I would take it with a grain of salt and assume it to only be a small part of the bigger picture. so basically that 15% might be close to accurate, but that would probably only be a statistic of the people actually diagnosed, right?
