Everyone experiences difficult emotions, but depression is more than an occasional low mood. It can involve persistent sadness, emptiness, hopelessness, irritability, loss of interest, fatigue, sleep or appetite changes, difficulty concentrating, unexplained physical discomfort, or thoughts of death or self-harm.
Symptoms vary from person to person and can affect work, school, relationships, and self-care. Depression is not a personal weakness. A qualified mental health or medical professional can assess symptoms, consider other possible causes, and recommend care based on your needs and preferences.
“Depression deserves compassion and appropriate care. Asking for help is a meaningful step toward safety, connection, and recovery.”
