The aim of this research was to find the ratio of teens and young adults who are Almost Depressed.

We used survey method for our study. There were a total of 576 participants. There were 36 questions asked to the participants with options and the last question being open ended. The analysis states that there are around 64.32% participants who are Almost Depressed. The research brought the end conclusion that even though people pretend to be happy and give a smile, most of them are going through a certain amount or beginning to fall into the trap of Almost Depression. Even though there are lot of professionals to help, the patients do not seek their help due.
