US Depression has decreased since Dec. 2020

Here are some interesting statistics here as I'm sure the lockdowns contributed to depression substantially:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/...%20two%20weeks.

Depression peaked in December 2020 at 30.2% and in June 2022 it was at 23.2%, although that is higher than Dec. 2021 where it was at 21.4%.

"From July 27 to August 8, 2022, around 22 percent of U.S. adults reported symptoms of depressive disorder in the past two weeks. This statistic shows the percentage of U.S. respondents over the age of 18 who reported symptoms of depressive disorder in the last seven days or two weeks, between April 23, 2020 and August 8, 2022."

I know in California where the lockdowns were heavy duty that seniors in my area reported feeling isolated and other non-seniors I know turned to drinking. I was surprised as I thought this statistic would be higher, but with the stigma of mental health perhaps some people may not have reported depressive disorder.

A hundred thousand or so die per year of opiod overdose alone, so that will definitely cut into those depression numbers.
A million miles away - I don't.. feel.... anything.

Yeah I didn't even think about the opiate users. They probably would self report that they don't feel depressed because they are high. Opiates definitely helped me with depression when I took them after surgery. I just made my husband hide them so I didn't get dependent on them with my addictive personality.

That’s depressing to know that 1/4 of people you meet are depressed. That is if it’s true depression and not some dude just sad cos he can’t get his Willy wet.

who could've guessed that lockdowns on unaffected age group would get depressed?

If gone unchecked that can actually cause depression so kind of the same thing

Think of the stories of suicide and then the people saying they never knew.

Not everyone reports so expect any official number to always be higher.

You can't accurately quantify stuff like this. Take those numbers with a grain of salt.

I’ve had a low sex drive lately due to stress, my age or my meds, or all of the above.
