Various expert healthcare professionals will explain the key elements in the detection and treatment of depression from childhood to old age. We will also hear a personal account to illustrate the diverse needs of people with depression and their families.
Are you a person with depression, a family member or someone close to them, a professional in the educational, social, health and mental health fields, or are you interested in learning more about the daily life of a person with this disorder?
Depression is a common mental health problem, characterized by persistent low moods and a loss of pleasure in most activities.
It is estimated that between 8% and 16% of the population will experience some form of depression during their lifetime, affecting more than 300 million people of all ages, including children and the elderly. It is more common in women, and its manifestation can differ from person to person and depending on age. When depression is prolonged, intense, and makes it difficult for a person to carry out their usual activities, it can become a serious health problem and is one of the most significant risk factors for suicide. In recent years, the estimated number of people with depression has increased due to factors such as population aging, daily stressors, socioeconomic problems, and the increased consumption of drugs and other substances. Despite this, many people with depression do not seek professional help, do not receive the help and treatment they need, or abandon treatment before recovering.
Therefore, and to prevent depression from becoming a major health problem, good detection at all stages of life is necessary, along with appropriate interventions and treatments based on available scientific evidence, as well as the promotion of healthy habits that allow people to be more resilient to this disorder.
