Depression disorder treatment that leads to long-term healing of body and soul is what we are committed to at His Mansion. According to recent research, depressive disorders will affect almost 19 million American adults this year. That’s almost 10% of the U.S. population. This includes major depressive disorder, dysthymic disorder, and bipolar disorder. The National Mental Health Association (NMHA) reports that: - 54% of people believe depression is a personal weakness.
- 41% of depressed women are too embarrassed to seek help.
- 80% of depressed people are not currently receiving treatment.
- 15% of depressed people will commit suicide.
- Depression will be the second largest killer after heart disease by 2020. Studies also show depression is a contributory factor to fatal coronary disease.
- Depression results in more absenteeism than almost any other physical disorder and costs employers more than US$51 billion per year.
Long-term recovery from depression disorders ultimately requires dealing with the underlying causes, not simply the symptoms such as chemical imbalance and depressive thoughts. Experts agree that a safe and supportive group environment can be an important component of healing. For information about our Resident Program and an Application, visit our Download Page. |
