Depression & Mood

Depression is a mood disorder that can affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities. Symptoms can include feelings of sadness, hopelessness, loss of interest in activities, changes in appetite or weight, sleep disturbances, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, difficulty concentrating, and thoughts of death or suicide. Depression can have a significant impact on a person's life, affecting their relationships, work, school, and overall well-being. It can lead to social isolation, difficulties in maintaining personal and professional responsibilities, physical health problems, and it can affect one's ability to enjoy life. It is important for anyone experiencing symptoms of depression to seek help from a mental health professional, as depression is a treatable condition. Treatment may include therapy, medication, lifestyle changes, and support from loved ones.
