What Is Depression?
It’s totally normal to feel sad sometimes; it’s just part of being human that we all go through now and then. However, when this sadness persists for weeks on end with no relief, it may be a sign of depression. Depression is a common but serious mental health condition that goes beyond occasional feelings of sadness or low energy. It affects how you think, feel, and function in daily life, often making even simple tasks feel overwhelming. Depression is caused by a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors working together and it can affect anyone, no matter their age or background.
Common Symptoms of Depression:
- Persistent sadness or emptiness
- Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
- Fatigue or low-energy
- Difficulty concentrating or making decisions
- Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
- Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
- Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to reach out for help. Depression is treatable, and reaching out is the first step toward healing.
Types of Depression
• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): MDD is marked by intense symptoms that disrupt everyday activities. These symptoms last around for at least two weeks.
• Persistent Depressive Disorder: Also known as Dysthymia, it is a chronic form of depression. The symptoms are usually milder, but they last for at least two years.
• Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): SAD is a type of depression that tends to kick in with the changing seasons, usually getting worse during the winter months.
• Perinatal Depression: This form of depression happens during pregnancy or after giving birth, and it can really impact new moms.
