18 million of these cases are happening in the United
States. (The National Institute of Mental Health)
Between 20% and 50% of children and teens struggling
with depression have a family history of this struggle and
the offspring of depressed parents are more than three
times as likely to suffer from depression. (U.S. Surgeon

Depression often co-occurs with anxiety disorders and
substance abuse, with 30% of teens with depression also
developing a substance abuse problem. (NIMH)
