I recently received my Daily Digest Bulletin from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (part of the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services), and it primarily discussed the state of U.S. mental health - and it's a bit sobering.
These statistics particularly hit home as I went through dark times some years back, so it's something I hold close. If you'd like to learn more, I encourage you to go to HealthyPeople.gov for stats and other evidence-based resources.
For those living with depression or know others who do, Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy by David D. Burns, M.D., may be a helpful resource. This book was recommended by a counselor at UNC-Chapel Hill's counseling and wellness services.
