What is Depression?
Depression is a very common mental health condition that can have a profound impact on a person’s life. It can affect a person’s mood, thoughts, and behavior, and can make it difficult to carry out daily activities and maintain relationships. Despite its prevalence, depression is often misunderstood, and many people who experience depression do not receive the help they need.
If you suffer from depression, it is essential to know that depression can affect people of all ages, races, and backgrounds and is not a personal failure. This condition can be caused by a range of factors, including genetic predisposition, life events, and changes in brain chemistry.
Symptoms of depression include:
- Persistent feelings of sadness
- Reduced pleasure in previously enjoyed activities
- Hopelessness and helplessness
- Low self-worth
- Feeling guilty
- Decreased energy and motivation
- Difficulty concentrating
- Difficulty making decisions
- Changes in eating or sleeping
- Social withdrawal
- Suicidal thoughts
- Changes in appetite
