Understanding Depression
Depression is a common and serious mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed. It affects how individuals think, feel, and handle daily activities. Depression can impact all areas of life, including relationships, work, and overall well-being.
