Over the past year, one million Australian adults and 160,000 young people have experienced at least one major bout of depression. On average, one in five females and one in eight males will experience depression in their lifetime. These numbers have been steadily rising, and sadly, one third of people who feel the unbearable pain, hopelessness, and self-criticism of depression never seek treatment.
