Depression
Depression is a mental health disorder characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness that significantly impact thoughts, emotions, and daily functioning. It extends beyond normal mood fluctuations and affects relationships, work, and physical health.
Symptoms may include loss of interest or pleasure, changes in appetite or sleep, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, and thoughts of self-harm or suicide. Depression is a complex condition influenced by genetics, brain chemistry, environment, and life events.
Seeking professional help is crucial, as depression is treatable. Treatment options may involve therapy, medication, or a combination. Support from loved ones, self-care practices, and lifestyle adjustments are also important in managing depression. With proper support and treatment, individuals can experience relief, regain their quality of life, and progress towards recovery.
