What is Depression?
Depression is a mood disorder characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, loss of interest, and a wide range of emotional and physical problems. Unlike fleeting sadness, clinical depression impacts daily functioning, making it difficult to work, sleep, eat, and enjoy life. It can stem from various factors, including chemical imbalances, life circumstances, or chronic stress.
Common Signs of Depression
-
Persistent sad, anxious, or 'empty' mood
-
Loss of interest or pleasure in hobbies and activities
-
Decreased energy, fatigue, or feeling 'slowed down'
-
Difficulty sleeping, early-morning awakening, or oversleeping
-
Changes in appetite or weight, often unintentional
Causes of Depression
Depression can arise from a combination of biological, psychological, and social factors. These may include genetic predispositions, imbalances in brain chemistry, or chronic medical conditions. Significant life stressors such as trauma, loss, relationship issues, or work-related burnout can also contribute to its development.
