What is Depression?
Depression is more than just feeling sad or down; it’s a persistent mental health condition that can affect every aspect of a person’s life, from their energy levels and sleep patterns to their ability to work or maintain relationships.
Symptoms of Depression:
- Persistent sadness or low mood
- Lack of energy and chronic fatigue
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional help. Early intervention can significantly improve outcomes.
