Depression

Depression is a common mental health condition that can affect anyone, at any age. It is characterized by feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest in activities that were once enjoyable. If you are struggling with depression, know that you are not alone and that help is available.

Symptoms:

  • Do you feel sad or empty most of the time?

  • Do you lack energy and motivation?

  • Do you find it hard to enjoy things you used to like?

  • Do you have trouble sleeping or sleep too much?

  • Do you feel hopeless or helpless?

  • Do you have difficulty concentrating or making decisions?

  • Do you feel guilty or worthless?

  • Do you have thoughts of suicide or self-harm?

Causes:

  • Depression can be caused by a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors.

  • Certain medical conditions such as thyroid disorders or chronic pain can also contribute to depression.

  • Trauma, such as abuse or loss, can also trigger depression.

  • Life events such as a breakup, job loss or financial difficulties can also lead to depression

Treatments:

  • The most effective treatment for depression is a combination of therapy and medication.

  • Medications such as antidepressants can help to balance the chemicals in your brain that affect mood.
