Understanding Depression
Depression is a serious mood disorder that goes beyond just feeling sad or low. It can affect how you think, feel, and handle daily activities such as sleeping, eating, and working. Depression can be debilitating, but with the right treatment, recovery is possible.
Common Symptoms of Depression:
- Persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or emptiness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
- Fatigue or lack of energy, even with proper rest
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Significant changes in appetite or weight
- Sleep disturbances (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
- Thoughts of death or suicide
Depression affects people differently, and it’s important to seek help if you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms.
