The society

Depression is a big problem for individuals and the people close to them. But society as a whole also plays a significant role in connection with depression.

This can either be through the myths and taboos which exist here and which, among other things, are a contributory factor to why many people are not inclined to go to their doctor with depression.

Or it can be in the form of the options and limitations which society imposes in connection with the treatment of depression.

This section is about the interaction between society and depression.
