Saw these ads on the trains recently. I think the depression rate of the country might have gone up. STAY POSITIVE!



What is depression?

"Depression is more than feeling down or being sad. Depression may affect your work, interest in activities and quality of life. It is not a sign of weakness and it does not just ‘go away’. Depression can happen to anyone.

Depression is a medical condition that affects how you think and behave, and the way you feel and function. It is one of the most common mental health problems and is faced by over 121 million people worldwide. In Singapore, an estimated 5.6% of the population are affected by depression during their lifetime."
