Understanding Depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad or having a bad day—it’s a serious mental health condition that affects how you think, feel, and function in daily life. It’s important to recognize that depression affects everyone differently. Some may experience constant low mood, while others may feel numb or emotionally detached. Physical symptoms like changes in sleep, appetite, or energy levels are also common. Experiencing depression can feel overwhelming, leaving you drained, disconnected, and unable to enjoy life the way you once did. It may affect your motivation, relationships, and even your sense of self. If you're experiencing persistent sadness, hopelessness, or a loss of interest in the things that once brought you joy, know that you're not alone—and there is help available.
