| (AFP) - Nearly one in 10 Americans is depressed, and one in 30
meet the criteria for major depression, with the rate higher among
the unemployed and those who can't work, a study said Thursday. Nine percent of more than 235,000 adults surveyed between 2006 and 2008 across 45 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, met the criteria for depression, and 3.4 percent for "major" depression, according to the study by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
