Depression is a Lonely Place

Before I retired I worked as a therapist for people who had problems with depression, anxiety, stress, abuse, adjustment disorders, grief and many other difficulties too numerous to mention.
Of all of these, depression was perhaps the most disabling. Leaving people with a profound sense of sadness and isolation. Paradoxically, even though they may well have all sorts of people in their lives, they would invariably feel lonely.
A doctor I worked with, gave me this figure, as he felt it represented a person suffering with depression.
