Perceptions of Depression

What emerges from the declarations of people in this survey is not a clear-cut picture of depression. While an overwhelming majority (91%) think this is an illness like any other, and can be treated, still almost three quarters (72%) see depression as something shameful, to be concealed from other people.

The greatest contributory factor to depression is, in people’s opinion, too much long-term stress (68%). In second place come life at a fast pace, not enough time for yourself, too many responsibilities and too much work (56%), and loneliness, lack of contact with other people or inadequate, superficial contact (also 56%). What is worth noting is that loneliness and inadequate, superficial contact with people are mentioned more frequently than poor or toxic relationships, which were indicated by over two fifths of respondents (44%).
