Estimates suggest nearly 1 in 5 of us will experience depression at some point in our lives. This means 1,250,000 people living in Scotland will be affected. Potentially 500,000 Scots are currently experiencing varying symptoms of depression and half of these will not have any help or support.

The World Health Organization predicts that depression will soon be the second biggest cause of illness world-wide.

Action on Depression offers a range of services to help people affected by depression in Scotland.
