MDD is associated with a mortality rate of 15% — suicide.

50% of people with MDD receive no treatment.

What other illness/disease has a 15% mortality rate, yet we do so little to get them help?

I make no guarantees that I am being serious. I might be, but most of the time I probably am not.

For my "more" serious side, look elsewhere (preferably at my other blog: JeffreyMD.com).
