Campaign fact sheet
Our persistent depressive disorder (PDD) public awareness campaign aims to spread awareness and understanding of this little-known mood disorder that is thought to affect up to 6% of the population.
Launched by La Fondation Compagnom and supported by several partners, the campaign hopes to throw light on PDD and spark a conversation. It also aims to educate and support people living with PDD and their loved ones.
