Date:10/14/2009

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A new survey of 2,001 adults living with depression revealed that despite being diagnosed for an average of 12 years, many unknowingly took actions that could have sabotaged their chances of getting well.(i) Furthermore, on average, it took about six years for respondents to seek diagnosis from a health care professional, suggesting these adults may have been coping with depression for as long as 18 years.(i)
