Gemeinsame Erklärung von Vytenis Andriukaitis, Kommissar für Gesundheit und Lebensmittelsicherheit, und Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO-Regionaldirektorin für Europa, zum Weltgesundheitstag 2017
7 April 2017 - Depression is common - one in 20 people in the European region currently live with depression, and one in four of us will suffer a depressive episode at some point in our lives. Unsurprisingly, the risk of depression and related conditions such as anxiety disorder are greatly increased through exposure to violence, conflict or forced migration. There is no shame in depression. We must not sweep it under the carpet or allow stigma to prevent people seeking help. We must talk about it!
