According to the World Health Organization, more than 264 million people worldwide have depression, including, according to the Census Bureau, one-third of all Americans. Depression is the most common mental health disorder for women, affecting more women than men.

Joining the conversation is Dr. Patrick Runnels, Program Director, Public and Community Psychiatry, at UH Cleveland Medical Center.
