Demystifying Depression

Depression is a complex and multifaceted condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and disinterest in activities once enjoyed. It can manifest in various forms and intensity levels, ranging from mild to severe. Depression isn’t a sign of weakness or a character flaw; it’s a legitimate medical condition that requires professional support and treatment.

  • Persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or hopelessness
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
  • Changes in appetite or weight
  • Sleep disturbances, including insomnia or excessive sleeping
  • Fatigue or loss of energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Thoughts of death or suicide
