Depression causes workers to be unproductive, causing companies and countries to los

56、e billions of dollars. One expert says that depression is like cancer because it is "'widespread, costly and deadly". Depression hits one person in five around the world.Although people have believed depressi on to be a problem among the rich and educated, studies show that depressi on
