In South Africa, studies show that more than a quarter of the population suffers from depression, whether they know it or not.

Although society is working towards destigmatising mental health issues, there is still much to be done. Especially when conditions like dysthymia - a milder, longer-lasting form of depression, also known as high-functioning depression (HFD) - fly under the radar, since its characteristics are not as easy to spot and diagnose.
