Today, April 7, is World Health Day, an initiative promoted by the World Health Organization since 1950 and in 2017 devotes it to depression, a disease more frequent than we can imagine, that Affects more than 300 million people in the world.
It is a silent disease that has repercussions on the quality of life and, in the worst case, can lead to suicide. Although there are effective treatments, there are many patients who, at present, do not access these solutions.
