What's the likelihood we are approaching another Great Depression?

Asking because there's nothing we can look at that closely historically mimics what we are dealing with now so I just want to get people's thoughts on this possibility.

I saw this fact on [Investopedia](https://share.google/K7cT2RPzrXQtAnKEf), "The 1929 crash lasted until 1932, resulting in the Great Depression, when stocks lost nearly 90% of their value. The Dow didn't recover its pre-crash value until November 1954.".

That 25 year period gives me anxiety because am new to investing and am trying to understand how best to navigate the current situation during these wild and unpredictable times.

I don't plan to use the funds in my portfolio (that has been stock heavy) until 15 to 20 years from now.
