Summary
Denmark is experimenting with ‘culture vitamins’ to lift people out of depression
Detailed description
Depression affects 300 million people across the globe and is the leading cause of disability worldwide according to the World Health Organization (WHO). It costs the global economy $1 trillion every year but fewer than half of those affected receive any treatment.
