Depress

Understanding Depression:

Depression, also known as major depressive disorder, is characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities you once enjoyed. It can impact your sleep, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being.  

Common Symptoms of Depression:

• Persistent sadness or a “down” mood
• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities
• Changes in appetite or weight
• Sleep disturbances (insomnia or hypersomnia)
• Fatigue or loss of energy
• Feelings of worthlessness or excessive guilt
• Difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions
• Restlessness or irritability
• Thoughts of death or suicide

Causes of Depression:

Depression is a complex condition with multiple contributing factors, including:

• Biological factors: Changes in brain chemistry and hormone levels.
• Genetic factors: A family history of depression can increase your risk.
• Psychological factors: Stressful life events, trauma, and negative thought patterns.
• Environmental factors: Social isolation, lack of support, and exposure to violence.
