Kevin Shafer, Ph.D., is a professor of Social Work at Brigham Young University. 1 out of 11 adults suffers a major depressive episode each year. That news comes from the National Institute for Mental Health that shows depression on the rise. New studies suggest that this suffering is not exclusive to adolescents.
