Statistics show more women suffer from depression than men. Would the numbers shift if more men talked about it? It’s a topic that can never be talked about enough. My guest Tim Phillips is doing his part to make sure it is discussed. Let’s Chew The Gum is here for that! Please join the conversation or at least listen in.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), Approximately 280 million people worldwide have depression. More than 700,000 people die due to suicide each year.

Suicide is the fourth leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds

75% of people in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment at all.(WHO, June 2021)

Whether you suffer from depression or not this show is for everyone, please don’t miss it. You may just be the one to make a difference in the life of someone you may or may not even know. “Let’s talk about it!

If you or someone you know is suffering from depression please seek immediate help. You can also call the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration 24/7 365 days a year at 1-800-662-HELP (4357)
