What Is Depression?

Depression is a common mental health condition that affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. Unlike occasional feelings of sadness, depression involves persistent feelings of emptiness, hopelessness, or a lack of interest in activities once enjoyed. These symptoms can interfere with daily functioning and may persist for weeks, months, or even years.

Common Signs and Symptoms

Depression can manifest in various ways, including:

  • Persistent sadness or low mood
  • Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
  • Changes in appetite or weight
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
  • Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
  • Thoughts of death or suicide

It’s important to note that symptoms can vary among individuals and may change over time.

How Depression Affects Daily Life

Depression can impact various aspects of life, including work, school, and relationships. Individuals may find it challenging to perform daily tasks, maintain social connections, or find motivation. Over time, untreated depression can lead to more severe health issues and diminish overall quality of life.
