Depression
Depression is a mental health disorder.
It can affect a person’s mood, behavior, and overall quality of life.
A combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors can cause depression. It can also be triggered by stressful life events such as losing a loved one, a relationship breakdown, or financial difficulties.
You’re not alone.
Symptoms of depression can vary from person to person, but common symptoms include:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed.
- Difficulty sleeping or sleeping too much.
- Fatigue or loss of energy
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions.
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Thoughts of suicide or self-harm
Depression is a treatable condition, and several effective treatments are available, including medication, psychotherapy, or a combination of both. It’s essential to seek help from a healthcare professional if you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of depression.
