"NIMH-sponsored studies estimate that 6 percent of 9- to 17-year-olds in the United States and almost 10 percent of American adults, or about 19 million people age 18 and older, experience some form of depression every year."
"If a physical cause for the depression is ruled out, a psychological evaluation should be done, by the physician or by referral to a psychiatrist or psychologist."
