The world as a whole needs to begin to inform itself on the dangers of Depression and shine the
light on the darkness like ignorance that still pervades the wise and unwise of the world over on this
matter. We need to step up the campaign of education on, the increasing statistics and the financial
resultant cost to an economy, causes and ways to prevent Depression in order to stem the erosion of
our labour force lost to depression. Someone once said: The devil is happy when people think he does
not exist. I can say that Depression is happy when people think it does not exist.
