According to the Indonesian Health Survey report, the national prevalence of depression in 2023 reached 1.4%.

This means that approximately 1 in 100 people aged 15 and over experience depression.

Of this group of depression sufferers, only 12.7% sought treatment or other management from a doctor or healthcare professional at a healthcare facility.

The remaining 87.3% were not recorded as receiving treatment.

Quoting information from the Ministry of Health's website, depression is a mood disorder that affects a person's thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

Someone experiencing depression may feel sad, anxious, lose interest in activities they usually enjoy, feel worthless, or have recurring negative thoughts about themselves, life, or death.

Depression can cause decreased energy, sleep disturbances, changes in appetite, and other physical problems.

Untreated depression can also lead to serious and dangerous complications, including an increased risk of suicide, anxiety disorders, physical disorders such as chronic pain, and problems in interpersonal relationships.

According to the Ministry of Health, the treatment of depression requires a holistic approach, which may include antidepressant medication therapy, as well as psychological therapy to help address negative thoughts and manage stress.
