1 in 4 of us will be affected by depression at some point during our lives.
Depression is an illness that can afflict absolutely anyone - whatever their circumstances.
Many people who suffer from depression say they feel an 'emptiness' or 'numbness' which makes them question the point of living at all.
If you're feeling depressed don't be afraid and don't panic - Always remember that feeling sad and unhappy will come to an end, even if you sometimes find it hard to imagine.
