Depression
What Is Depression?
Depression is more than just sadness or a rough patch—it is a common but serious mood disorder that affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities. It can cause persistent feelings of hopelessness, emptiness, or irritability, and can interfere with work, relationships, and physical health.
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms of depression may vary, but commonly include:
-
Persistent sadness or low mood
-
Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
-
Fatigue or low energy
-
Changes in appetite or weight
-
Difficulty sleeping or oversleeping
-
Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
-
Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
-
Thoughts of death or suicide
If these symptoms last for more than two weeks and begin to interfere with daily life, it may be time to seek professional help.
