Depression is a major global health concern. It plays a significant role in suicide, which is among the leading causes of death worldwide—especially in younger populations. Moreover, depression can contribute to other health problems, such as heart disease, further increasing its impact on mortality rates.
 

U.S. Suicide Statistics (CDC)
Every Year

  • 12.3 Million People Think About Suicide

  •  3.5 Million People Plan a Suicide Attempt

  • 1.7 Million People Attempt Suicide

  • 50,000+ People Die by Suicide​​​

 

Depression is an invisible killer and is preventable. Despite its widespread impact, the link between depression and suicide continues to be shrouded in stigma. Addressing this stigma is essential to saving lives, fostering awareness, and building a compassionate support network for those in need.

​

The financial toll of suicide on society is also costly. In 2020, suicide and nonfatal self-harm cost the nation over $500 billion in medical costs, work loss costs, value of statistical life, and quality of life costs.
