Mata, published in 2016 in JAMA, it’s estimated that an average of 27.2%, or more than one in four, medical students have depression (Rotenstein, Ramos, Torre, Segal, Peluso, Guille, Sen, & Mata, 2016).

That football captain, straight A, "perfect" son. He struggles to peel himself out of bed in the morning. That girl with the smile that lights up the room, she can make anyone and everyone happy, not to mention she's the definition of gorgeous. She hates everything about herself and doesn't eat because she tells herself she's not worth it. Depression is one of the leading causes of suicide among people ages 10-24. 90% of suicides are caused by mental illnesses. 15% of those suicides were committed by those with inordinately high levels of depression (University of Washington School of Social Work).
