PPD, You Are Not Alone | Anchored Counseling and Wellness

Did you know that in America, 1 in 10 women experience some form of depression per year? This is the equivalent of 12 million women suffering every single year!(1) 1 in 8 are expected to suffer from depression at some point in their life. 1 in 9 women are experiencing some form of postpartum mood disorder. This statistic is even higher in some states with reports as high as 1 in 5 experiencing postpartum depression. Looking at these numbers, it is believed that between 10 and 15% of women are suffering. This is estimated to be around 950,000 cases each year of postpartum depression and mood disorders. Think about this. An illness as common as this and it is rarely talked about. Women are suffering in silence. I want you to know that you are NOT alone and there is help! (2)

Did you know that depression, in general, affects more than 19 million adults age 18 and over each and every single year in the USA? (2)

Did you know that according to the CDC, 11% of American children, age four to 17, have ADHD? This has led to a 42% increase of ADHD cases in the last eight years. (3)

I could go on and on with stats on various ailments in the USA, but let's just say that even if you struggle with depression, ADHD, substance abuse, family issues, school issues, etc, you are not alone and there is help.

I want to bring to your attention someone who wants to help you!
