When we think about healthy living, the first thing to come to mind is often a good diet and a decent amount of physical exercise. Balanced mental health, however, is a critical part of any healthy lifestyle and it is all to often overlooked.
As The National recently reported, most cases of depression in men go unreported because many don’t feel comfortable admitting that they are struggling.
We asked 5,000 TaskSpotting users for their perceptions on depression in society and whether they felt the issue was properly discussed.
TaskSpotting describes itself as the region’s only advocate marketing platform and pitches our questions to its app community who typically engage with brands and relevant issues to create content, spread awareness and share feedback.
Considering our reporting, the results were hardly surprising. An overwhelming number of respondents said that depression was a growing problem in society and that they personally knew someone suffering from depression.
It is also clear that the majority of people believe that awareness campaigns need to go further.
