Depression Symptoms Facts

  • Although available therapies alleviate symptoms in over 80 percent of those treated, less than half of people with depression get the help they need.
  • While studies generally indicate that about 25 percent of people with cancer have depression, only 2 percent of cancer patients in one study were receiving antidepressant medication.
  • A study supported by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) found that CBT led to remission in nearly 65 percent of cases, a higher rate than either supportive therapy or family therapy.
  • Depression has been found to occur at a higher rate among people who have other serious illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, HIV, diabetes, and Parkinsons.
  • Research has revealed that people with alcoholism are almost twice as likely as those without alcoholism to also suffer from major depression.
