Need to Know: Depression
When we launched the Top 10 Online Influencers in Depression this past December, our goal was to help Sharecare users understand depression. After all, 1 in 10 U.S. adults report that they have some form of depression, and about half a million people suffer from seasonal affective disorder (SAD) from December through February.
If you haven’t already, check out our Top 10 Online Influencers and read these blog posts about depression:

You can also take our bipolar quiz, to find out more information on the disorder that affects not just you, but your entire family and friends.
Do you think you have depression? What’s helped you get through the winter?

With regard to cervical cancer- I am thankful there is something that can help a whole generation. As someone who is at risk ( family history) I belive it is imperitive to educate and advocate for womens health. You don’t think you will ever be ill when you are young.
This vaccine could save your life! I sure wish my mother and I had this option.
