depression

Depression is more than just feeling sad; it is a complex condition that can impact every aspect of your life. It affects how a person feels, thinks, and handles daily activities and can sometimes lead to feelings of hopeless, lack of motivation, and isolation.

The exact cause of depression is complex and can include a combination of genetic, biological, environmental, and psychological factors. Some common contributors include family history of depression, brain chemistry imbalances, major life changes or stressors, trauma or abuse, and chronic illness or pain.

What depression can look like:

Persistent Sadness: Feeling down or hopeless most of the day.
Loss of Interest: A diminished interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed.
Changes in Appetite: Significant weight loss or gain, or changes in appetite.
Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia or excessive sleeping.
Fatigue: A constant feeling of tiredness or lack of energy.
Difficulty Concentrating: Trouble focusing, making decisions, or remembering things.
Feelings of Worthlessness: Harsh self-criticism or feelings of inadequacy.
Irritability: Increased frustration or anger over small matters.
Social Withdrawal: Isolating yourself from friends and family.
Physical Symptoms: Unexplained aches, pains, or digestive issues without a clear cause.
Thoughts of Death or Suicide: Having thoughts of self-harm or feeling that life is not worth living.
