Depression & Mood

Depression is a mental health condition that can affect how a person thinks, feels, and handles daily activities. It is characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in things that once brought pleasure. Depression can impact all aspects of a person's life, including their relationships, work, and physical health. People with depression may experience symptoms such as persistent sadness, fatigue, changes in appetite or weight, difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, and feelings of worthlessness or guilt. These symptoms can make it challenging for individuals to function normally and can affect their quality of life. Depression can also lead to difficulty in maintaining relationships, decreased productivity at work or school, and physical health problems such as chronic pain or increased risk of heart disease. It is important for individuals experiencing symptoms of depression to seek help from a mental health professional to receive appropriate treatment and support.
