T: Depression  

K-Know: All around the world people suffer from depression in different ways, I was one of them. Depression made me feel lonely, useless, a disappointment and so on, it played a negative and positive role in my life and it still does. I was losing weight, missing assignments, not attending class, feeling tired all the time, the depression was eating me up. 

W-Want: I would like to know what is the percentage of people that suffer from depression in the past year. As well how or what leads to suffering from depression, is there any actual cure for this? Can our society start organizations for those people that are on the edge of suffering from depression? 

L-Learned: In 2015 depression had affected 300 million people! That’s a very huge amount of people. As well there is a psychological formula that provides all the biological, psychological and social factors that have led to a person becoming unwell, feeling down. There are several medications that can treat depression, some are Amitriptyline, Imipramine, Nortriptyline, etc. The average range of depression cases in the US is 3 million per year! Now wowww, imagine how many cases there will be by 2030 if the cases keeping increasing.
